The 2010 Atlantic Salmon season is off to a great start! A client who has been fishing with us for several years caught and released a nice grilse and a 15-pound salmon this morning using traditional spring flies. We wanted to capture it in a picture but he said it was bad luck!
We’ve been at the other end of the river for the last several days and had a nice 23 pound salmon on within an hour of hitting the water. She was down deep and did not want to come up; she was very close to being landed then back out she went again. The sun was shining just right that day so we got a really good look at her. She looked like a torpedo! We realized we couldn’t land her within the proper time limit so we gave her some slack and sent her on her way down the river. Almost immediately we had a grilse right back on.
The salmon are really tightening our lines this week.
NOTE:
See how to properly catch and release your salmon on the Atlantic Salmon Federation’s website.
