The Fishing: Recommended Check List The Fishing: • The quality of angling in “Lee Wulff Country” is superior to most of the scheduled salmon rivers in eastern North America. In a land that is sparsely populated and largely undiscovered by anglers, the fishing opportunities are endless. Fishing pressure is very, very low! • Class II Rivers: Smaller and medium size rivers where salmon spawning targets have been met on average since 1992. Rivers that are in remote locations with low angling effort. River that have stable and high catch per unit of effort based on historical data. The daily retention limit will be two fish per day for Class II rivers. The daily hook and release for Class II rivers will be four fish released per day. • From mid-June to late July, the angling for Atlantic Salmon, "the king of freshwater sport-fishing", will excite the seasoned fly-fisherman and thrill the novice. Feel the power of a leaping wild Atlantic Salmon fresh from the sea! • From mid-July through early September, native sea-run brook trout enter the rivers from the chilly Atlantic. These fish are plentiful and eager to fight! • All pools (and there are plenty of them) are accessible by wading. Many pools can be reached with a short cast -- ideal for the beginner. Other pools require the longer reach of an experienced fly-caster. Beginner or expert, there are plenty of fish within your reach! • Locally tied flies (for trout or salmon) are available. • Regardless of whether you're fishing for salmon or trout, you will enjoy the natural beauty, the peaceful solitude and some memorable fishing! • Our goal is to provide each guest with the best fishing possible at a very reasonable price. You will enjoy some unique scenery during your travel: sweeping highland plateaus that rise up from the rugged coastline, colorful fishing villages far removed from the bustle of urban living and wildlife such as caribou, moose and bald eagle. Recommended Check List: The following is a recommended check list of things to bring for salmon fishing in Newfoundland. This should include: • 8.5 to 10 foot graphite fly rod (7,8,9, or 10 weight) • Floating weight forward (recommended) or double tapered fly line with a minimum of 100yrds of 20lb Dacron backing. • Tapered or level leaders from 4 to 14 lbs test • An assortment of single hook salmon and trout flies: dry, wet, streamer, high water flies (fully dressed) and low water flies (lightly dressed) and nymphs in sizes 2 through 12. This is best tied, borrowed, or purchased on location. The popular colors for salmon flies in this area are green, silver, and black bodied flies with black or brown hair or feather wings. Flies with a florescent butt work best. Local favorites include: Cosseboom style streamers (all 12 standard types), orange and brown bomber bugs, Green Highlander, Annie Greenway, Thunder and Lightning, Blue Charm, various Wolff's, Silver Tip, and all standard trout flies and nymphs. • Fly vest with typical accessories • Waders • Spinning rod with 8 pound test for brook trout on non-salmon rivers and lakes. Hooks/Lures will be provided. • Polarized glasses • Hat • Sun screen and chap stick • Fish handling gloves • Small backpack • Rain gear • Mosquito repellent • Camera/film • Clothes (warm and cool weather) • Specialty tobacco and/or alcohol that may not be available locally The Guides • To comply with local government regulations, all non-resident anglers require the services of a professional guide at a ratio of no more than two anglers per guide. • We are fortunate to have some of the best fishing guides in Newfoundland. These men are seasoned professionals who know the Rivers "like the back of their hand"! • From the moment they greet you upon your arrival, these men strive to make your visit productive and memorable -- they aren't happy unless you're catching fish! • In addition to helping you find fish, the guides clean your catch and transport the supplies.

In absence of the information about those tyers I decided to proceed with what I had and over the next few years, if I could get the information on the others, I would consider releasing a second book. Never did I realize that it would take me six years to gather that information. During the six years I had the pleasure of personally meeting a number of the tyers. Sadly some of them are no longer with us. During the many meetings I had with the fly tyers, their families and friends I will never forget their kindness and generosity.

  • IGFA Angling Rules
    International Angling Rules The following angling rules have been formulated by the International Game Fish Association to promote ethical and sporting angling practices, to establish uniform regulations for the compilation of world game fish records, and to provide basic angling guidelines for use in fishing tournaments and any other group angling activities. The word “angling” is defined as catching or attempting to catch fish with a rod, reel, line, and hook as outlined in the international angling rules. There are some aspects of angling that cannot be controlled through rule making, however. Angling regulations cannot insure an outstanding performance from each fish, and world records cannot indicate the amount of difficulty in catching the fish. Captures in which the fish has not fought or has not had a chance to fight do not reflect credit on the fisherman, and only the angler can properly evaluate the degree of achievement in establishing the record. Only fish caught in accordance with IGFA international angling rules, and within the intent of these rules, will be considered for world records. Following are the rules for freshwater and saltwater fishing and a separate set of rules for fly fishing. RULES FOR FISHING IN FRESH AND SALT WATER (Also see Rules for Fly fishing) E.

  • Troutquest Guide to Trout Fishing on the Nc500
    Version 1.2 anti-clockwise Roger Dowsett, TroutQuest www.troutquest.com Introduction If you are planning a North Coast 500 road trip and want to combine some fly fishing with sightseeing, you are in for a treat. The NC500 route passes over dozens of salmon rivers, and through some of the best wild brown trout fishing country in Europe. In general, the best trout fishing in the region will be found on lochs, as the feeding is generally richer there than in our rivers. Trout fishing on rivers is also less easy to find as most rivers are fished primarily for Atlantic salmon. Scope This guide is intended as an introduction to some of the main trout fishing areas that you may drive through or near, while touring on the NC500 route. For each of these areas, you will find links to further information, but please note, this is not a definitive list of all the trout fishing spots on the NC500. There is even more trout fishing available on the route than described here, particularly in the north and north-west, so if you see somewhere else ‘fishy’ on your trip, please enquire locally. Trout Fishing Areas on the North Coast 500 Route Page | 2 All Content ©TroutQuest 2017 Version 1.2 AC Licences, Permits & Methods The legal season for wild brown trout fishing in the UK runs from 15th March to 6th October, but most trout lochs and rivers in the Northern Highlands do not open until April, and in some cases the beginning of May. There is no close season for stocked rainbow trout fisheries which may be open earlier or later in the year.

P HILIPP Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA Abstract.—We conducted a series of experiments to assess the real-time physiological and behavioral responses of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu to different angling related stressors and then monitored their recovery using both cardiac output devices and locomotory activity telemetry. We also review our current understanding of the effects of catch-and-release angling on black bass and provide direction for future research. Collectively our data suggest that all angling elicits a stress response, however, the magnitude of this response is determined by the degree of exhaustion and varies with water temperature. Our results also suggest that air exposure, especially following exhaustive exercise, places an additional stress on fish that increases the time needed for recovery and likely the probability of death. Simulated tournament conditions revealed that metabolic rates of captured fish increase with live-well densities greater than one individual, placing a greater demand on live-well oxygen conditions.

  • Release Recreational Angling to Effectively Conserve Diverse Fishery
    Biodiversity and Conservation 14: 1195–1209, 2005. Ó Springer 2005 DOI 10.1007/s10531-004-7845-0 Do we need species-specific guidelines for catch-and- release recreational angling to effectively conserve diverse fishery resources? STEVEN J. COOKE1,* and CORY D. SUSKI2 1Department of Forest Sciences, Centre for Applied Conservation Research, University of British Columbia, 2424 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z4; 2Department of Biology, Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada K7L 3N6; *Author for correspondence (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 2 April 2003; accepted in revised form 12 January 2004 Key words: Catch-and-release, Fisheries conservation, Hooking mortality, Recreational angling, Sustainable fisheries Abstract. Catch-and-release recreational angling has become very popular as a conservation strategy and as a fisheries management tool for a diverse array of fishes. Implicit in catch-and-release angling strategies is the assumption that fish experience low mortality and minimal sub-lethal effects. Despite the importance of this premise, research on this topic has focused on several popular North American sportfish, with negligible efforts directed towards understanding catch-and-release angling effects on alternative fish species. Here, we summarise the existing literature to develop five general trends that could be adopted for species for which no data are currently available: (1) minimise angling duration, (2) minimise air ex- posure, (3) avoid angling during extremes in water temperature, (4) use barbless hooks and artificial lures=flies, and (5) refrain from angling fish during the reproductive period. These generalities provide some level of protection to all species, but do have limitations. Therefore, we argue that a goal of conservation science and fisheries management should be the creation of species-specific guidelines for catch-and-release.

  • The Art of Catch-And-Release Fishing: What Anglers Need to Know
    The Art of Catch-and-Release Fishing: What Anglers Need to Know Catch-and-release fishing has been an important part of recreational angling for many decades, but the practice has approached critical mass in recent years. As anglers have come to value many fish species more for their sporting qualities than as table fare – including trout, bass, and muskellunge – catch-and-release angling has grown immensely in popularity. With the addition of catch-and-release only seasons and no-kill waters (2011 Michigan Fishing Guide , pages 7-13), anglers fishing those waters have to practice catch-and-release if they want to enjoy some of the best fishing opportunities available in Michigan. The purpose of catch-and-release angling is to allow fish to survive so anglers can catch them again or so the fish can live to reproduce. By taking a few simple steps to ensure fish are released properly, anglers can maximize survival and improve fishing. Sport-caught fish typically die for one of two reasons during catch-and-release: wounding and/or stress. Although some wounding may be unavoidable, the use of proper equipment and careful handling can keep this to a minimum. The following tips showcase what anglers can do to be successful at catch-and-release with success equating to survival. Hooks Single hooks are more easily removed than multi-point hooks, such as trebles. In addition, barbless hooks can be more easily removed from fish and cause smaller puncture wounds. Small hooks can be rendered barbless simply by crushing the barb with a pair of pliers.
