Much as I don’t love boot fishing in creeks at all, I tend to agree with this viewpoint. Trolling big kings in the lake is an excellent time and one of my favourite sounds in the world is a wire diver shot with a 25 plus king at the end of it. I’ll take the river full of muddy boots and all that comes with it. That and I do love catching bows in the fall! By rights none of those fish belong here, but they all have their time and place! I take people into consideration when I see these things. Sometimes young guys get overwhelmed seeing big fish in small water. Some people view it as an easy harvest of meat at all costs (you may not agree that they’re fit for food, but some cultures eat dogs and horses and that’s ok where they live). Where I look down my nose is guys with 1k fly rigs lining them in riffles and thinking they are fishing, or dudes who have 20 years in the game running custom outfits and clearing snagging them (time to grow up fellas). Everyone else I cut a bit of slack. Our views are sometimes born of too much available wealth and opportunity. Some areas salmon snagging for residents harvesting meat is perfectly acceptable and legal. Killing is killing, at the end of the day if the intent is harvest for meat then how it gets done doesn’t matter much to the fish… they’re dead! Anyway in my life I’ve gone full circle on this over the years, from a 12 year old salmon snagger, to a steelhead snob and purist for many many years, and now I look at it with a bit wider lense, especially having spoken to numerous people of other cultures who do indeed consider creek salmon as good for dinner!

Too far for the OP but if anyone in the Kawartha area needs repairs for Shimano fishing products they have a repair facility in Peterboro just off the 115. I've dealt with them several times and their service is 2nd to none.

Dave told me yesterday that he was heading to Whitehorse My daughter and her children and dog got out on a flight today Her husband is doing the drive. Sorry to inject this into Dave's thread but I fished with him a couple times.
