News:Gaspé Report No Kill Policy

2/10/2010

Turning to news from the Gaspé, there is a lot of talk and interest in changing the laws on the killing of salmon in the province of Québec. I believe the no kill policy is not far from becoming a reality. This is a policy that I wholeheartedly support and have for years. The practice of releasing Atlantic salmon has gained favor and is just a matter of time. If the release policy is to be successful, then we all need to go one step further and pinch the barbs on the flies. Now is the time to be planning your trip to the Gaspé. Remember the big two and three sea winter fish come into the Gaspé Rivers in late May and early June. If you have never caught a salmon of 20lbs or more this is the time of year to accomplish the task. Matapédia River is one of the few Atlantic salmon rivers in the world that has pro-duced a 50 lb. salmon.
