First Atlantic Salmon Season in Seven Years Sputters Out of Gate
By Tom Chandler on Sep 28, 2006 in Fly Fishing, News, Underground Entertainment
Alert Reader Sully (the Underground’s Montana Correspondent and Minister of Funny Walks) sent me this link to the New York Times, which details the hoopla surrounding the first Atlantic Salmon season in Maine since recreational fishing was banned seven years ago.
(He also suggested the character in the picture had watched my instructional casting video, a low blow given the big loop, excessive backcast, and broken wrist).
In the article, we discover it’s taken two weeks to land the first Atlantic Salmon of the monthlong season, suggesting that questions along the lines of “how’s the fishing” probably won’t be answered with much more than a grunt.
Still, it’s nice to see some small amount of progress involving the wild Atlantic Salmon, a fish driven to the brink in the USA by dams, development and pollution.
