Are they "MIGHTY SALMON" or are they "PATHETIC WIMPS"?


Okay .... I do not want to make this "Personal"... but cant help but point out the Glaring Contradictions that are being stated by many members of this form.


Which one is it for SALMON:

1) Are they magnificent, powerful ... diverse fish

- capable of swimming up hundred of miles
- Jumping over huge waterfalls & Class 5 Rapids
- Swimming through as little as 4-6 inches of water for miles  (Ever see them in ridiculously small streams?)
- Navigating through Rocks, Log Jams .... Debris and obstacles

or

2) Are they Pathetic wimps

- Incapable of overcoming obstacles
- Unable to handle "Double Double"  water conditions, Low water....
- Cant be Caught & Released without Dying


Seems that many members like to Blow their horn about how great the Salmonoids are .... but then turn around and state RIDICULOUS facts about how delicate the fish are.

Give it a break!


The salmon is a POWER HOUSE.

It can be ETHICALLY FISHED a multitude of ways under a multitude of conditions.
Period

It's salmonids, and a combination of 1 and 2, depending on the variables involved.

That's a classic pic Floater!

How about #3 Moronic lemmings that will swim anywhere as long as it is against the current.

Why do i feel like the salmon watching a piece of juicy roe floating past my beak lol.

[redtide]

its milk choclate on the flow but big gobs of roe in slow water will land some gullible hoes.....

Haha I like your style.

I'd say with the exception of fish farms, higher water temps, and OVER FISHING by commies, Salmon are indeed a very resilient fish!

none of the above. People need to get with it. So many simply believe with what some expert (as in expert angler) tells them. They don't think for themselves and don't try to expand their knowledge or rely on their observations & experience. BTW you're just as stuck in that rut.

[Fish or cut bait.]

When they're running its always possible to catch them.
However, conditions may dictate your chances on doing it.
If you know a system well enough there is always opportunity but for many, with the reduced chance, it is too far a drive to go play.
As far as swimming hundreds of miles...
Not every run or species of salmon has the same capability.
Different runs have different DNA.
Their genes determine that ability.

Not every horse can run in the Kentucky derby and have a reasonable chance at winning.

Very few of us will become elite athletes (though many think they can).

High coloured water:
 reduces the productive areas to fish.
Moves the fish to areas most don't know to fish.
Creates Hazards for the inexperienced.

You don't have stop fishing but realize your chances are diminished and the danger is increased.

Go fish, learn something.
But most importantly:  be safe, it's just a fish.

Beauty and congrats, Redtide.

And about this ethical/non ethical nonsense about fishing. All I've learned living in this world is that if someone says they are ethically superior or start standing on a soapbox telling you how to live ~ they should be ignored as extremist or whackjobs. Or both lol.

They always fall off their soapbox anyways.

I agree. I hate people who keep telling me it is immoral for a 50+ year-old man to sleep with women half his age or younger.  As long as it is consensual...who cares?

Likewise, if fish really take your presentation willingly, have at it.

[burnaby]

There is LEGAL fishing and ILLEGAL fishing. Please report all ILLEGAL fishing. Always fish like DFO is standing beside you.

Leave the ethical BS to PETA and other nut job groups that firmly believes ALL fishing is unethical.

Thanks to all for the wonderful reports and pics for those of us that can't get out.


Those young ladies should be thanking you for your vast experience
