I was going to pass by this thread and not post, but could not tolerate what was said
I went fishing with ST two times, in one occassion, he did teach me to catch Salmon/trout, by getting them to bite, not flossing them or snagging, like majority do! Since then I do enjoy river fishing, as otherwise I had to break the line everytime! In the second occassion, he introduced me to fishing for resident fish! It was superfun and a new experince. We did keep one of each species, as those were my first brook & brown trouts (and we released many more than we kept), but I think I will be relasing all of them from now on, just becuase they are too pretty and too small to be eaten. My personal preference, not to preach others to do the same
If ST did one thing, that was to make me (and other people who went with him) a better fisherman. I know that some people do not practice proper fishing, but getting mad at them or swearing at them is only making them more aggressive, and ST is clearly not one of them, the opposite in fact!
I wish for every new fisherman we had an experinced buddy/mentor, to teach them good fishing skills and conservation as well. The effect is impressive
That aside, as I had suggested in another post, if you think you have a loud voice and a good rational, pressure MNR to change the limits, rather than picking on a fellow fisherman! As long as one is legal, he/she is OK! Less tension on or off water is best for everyone!
