There are many different methods for salmon fishing. Fly fishing is a popular choice for many anglers, as it’s a challenging and rewarding way to catch salmon. Spinning is an option for certain water conditions and those who are just starting out, as it’s easier to master than fly fishing. In addition to being a fun activity, salmon fishing also has many benefits for the environment. Salmon are an important part of the ecosystem, and by fishing sustainably, we can help to maintain the health of our rivers and oceans.

Anglers are by their very nature, watchers of the river and can often spot something that needs reporting to the appropriate authorities.  By reporting these things, following local fishing regulations, using the right equipment, and releasing fish back into the water, we can help to ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy salmon fishing too.
