stripedbassking Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Looks like the Mill area is closing up to fishing, could be a good thing for the fish considering the amount of poaching, extremely poor fish handling, littering, and just overall disrespect that goes on there. Many people don’t believe “spot burning” is a problem but it’s things like this that ruin fishing areas and access….. angler management and Salt3r 2 GOD made my Mold different from the rest, Then he broke that mold so I know I'm Blessed.

angler management Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 (edited) i believe the same will happen at a local dam near me , some people people don't care, tossing live Herring in front of a fish ladder not obeying the 150 feet law isn't catching its poaching ! but it keeps these googans away from where i fish . i believe Herring are federally protected and don't want to faces those charges. the fine could pay for some nice gear !

Salt3r Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 In general I hate to see fisherman lose access but in this case I think it’s a good decision. The rule takes effect 6/10. stripedbassking and angler management 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like fishing at the hatchery! It’s like shooting stocked pheasants on the ground. Zero appeal. angler management and stripedbassking 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkoff Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 (edited) It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Seriously though, I avoid places like that anyway. No real good can come from it. Too many chuckleheads. Edited June 10 by Skunkoff stripedbassking and MainelySmallies 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Of Atlas Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 DAMS ARE TERRIBLE FOR FISH! People push the green energy. The Canadians own most of our dams. No offense but I think it’s rubbish. Just like Arizona sold water access land to grow alfalfa to the Saudi’s. At the very least we should “own” rivers and use them for our own beneficial purpose. Imagine having to beg a foreign entity for the right to our own water. People get it twisted all the time. They fought alewife restoration because they thought it would hurt trophy smallmouth fishing downeast (laughable). The fact that none of us can catch and release a healthy Atlantic salmon today is a travesty. CWitek and MainelySmallies 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a dual edge sword... the stripers are decimating the Salmon rivers in the Atlantic Provinces.. but Brookfield are awful owners and at the end of the day only care about the $ in their pockets.. My dad used to tell me fabled stories about the runs in the Narraguagus.. Would love to have seen that RIP Innis - April 9th 2012 - you always be in my heart.

HeyNine-ah Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 Dams are good for fish. That’s the most short sighted statement I’ve read here in 18 years. I hope DMR has the resources to enforce the rule. That team is stretched pretty thin. The atlantic salmon game in Canada remains solid. Making the trip won’t disappoint.
