Yeah, from the searches that I've done, trouting seems to be the holy grail for most fishermen in NS. I guess I'll have to get off my lazy bum and get into river fishing.
Stripers are completely off limits over the whole stretch of the Northumberland Straight all the way up to the tip of Cape Breton, which sucks big time for me as I was really looking forward to it. It seems cods aren't the only decimated fish stock in the Maritimes.
