 THE BOTTOM LINE!
The Atlantic Salmon Federation calls upon all salmon anglers to practice live release angling and offers REWARDS for safely returning salmon and grilse to the water.
Carefully released wild Atlantic salmon live and go on to spawn, increasing prospects for future generations. REMEMBER! - It is most important to keep the Atlantic salmon in the water. ATLANTIC SALMON ANGLERS -
Your Views on Catch and Release are Important! There was great interest in the Atlantic Salmon Federation's live release survey, with 802 responses!
ASF appreciates the consideration given by so many Atlantic salmon anglers to answering this questionnaire. Many individuals gave a great deal of thought to their answers and that makes the survey response especially valuable. We also wish to congratulate Richard Allen of Amherst, NS, who was the winner of the live release survey draw. He won a framed limited-edition copy of the painting, "Restigouche Evening," by Bruno Bobak. The survey results have been tabulated, and an article based on the responses has just appeared in the Summer 2010 issue of the Atlantic Salmon Journal. The article is available below in .pdf format. - Views expressed by anglers on release of grilse - pdf
