Exactly the situation I hate.
Low clear water.
Huge salmon basically penned.
What possible enjoyment could that ever bring.
If I was determined to fish I'd be heading to the mouths just as yourself and your dad did.

Wait until you go to a pool at the Wilmont. There was over 50 carcasses thrown into bush (in a pile).. The memory of the stench alone is awful enough... I still don't understand why the people were just catching them and throwing them into the bush...

gutting salmon for roe will never stop....with the popularity of river fishing on the rise....we will likely see more and more of this crap each year.....sad to say the gut-n-chuck guys are steelheaders collecting eggs for the steelhead season....at least the loogans take their fish home to feed their families....

No live bait is a pretty simple solution, if you cant use it why take it? Instating and enforcing it is another story

An all out ban on roe would be the ideal remedy.  Another option would be to have a tag system. You would have to have a tag on the fish harvested for roe for an example. You would not just be able to walk along the tribs with a zip lock bag collecting roe anymore. You would have to apply a tag to the fish and remove it from the river.

 

I have been saying this for a long long time...It's "WHITE TRASH" that are leaving the carcasses. The Asians and Europeans are taking the whole fish to consume. The next time you see "that guy" wearing the high end Simms waders, custom rod, custom reel..... you know the ones... using salmon roe for sacs, chances are, they are the ones who are turfing the carcass into the bushes.

Never having stocked chinooks in the first place would have been the best option.

Some of the problems have a much more difficult task...i've seen a much more activity at night this season compared to the past...I'm not saying all of the people that fish at night do illegal stuff...but when you comeback next day and there are gutted salmon all over the place that wasn't there the day before....then something really fishy is happening between those times.

Steelies, Cohos and Browns were more than enough.

I think all us river guys prefer coho over Chinook.
But charter clients want the BIG fish.

They claim chinnies actually starved to death rather than alter their diet on Huron. When alewife pop collapsed.

People dont know what catch and release is. Most people during the salmon season aren't there for the sport of fishing, but are just there for the fish they can take home for dinner.
