I agree with you. If it's illegal, I would report the individual myself Thanks for your reply. Yes, I will call the Ministry to get it cleared. I have seen a gentleman actually go in front of the fish and guide the bait in the mouth. I guess it can be done with some try. But, if the practice is legit then it's ok. I am just confused by people trying so many things and reading about all the illegal fishing activities in the news, I will call the ministry to confirm. Thanks everyone.

Hello Everyone, my first post here to get some knowledge from the good anglers of Ontario. I am very intested in fishing for Salmon this year and wanted to know if the following method is considered legal. I understand that snagging salmon is illegal but someone was telling me that if you are able to guide the bait into the mouth of the salmon and hook it then it is ok. I feel that the only time this can be done is in very shallow water when the salmon can be spotted. Would guiding the bait into the mouth of the salmon after spotting it in shallow water considered legal?
