Trolling is Not Fly-Fishing

April 21, 2011 by Keith Wilson

Trolling for Atlantic salmon on the Miramichi River is not fly-fishing . There has got to be something done to stop this ridiculous practice that is becoming far too common . I have heard reports of anglers being anchored a cast distance from shore and have a troller actually pass on the inside right over their line . It has come to the point that many fly-fishermen are totally pissed at what they have to put up with on some parts of the Miramichi during the spring season .This has got to stop !!! . There is presently a loop hole in the law that allows this as long as the troller does not have the rod attached to the boat , it is still trolling when the boat is moving and the guys on board are dragging lines over the side . If they want to troll then go to the tide water below the Quaryville Bridge .
I am calling on all fly-fishermen to contact the Minister Of Natural Resources …. bruce.northrup@gnb.ca and MLA ….jake.stewart@gnb.ca and the Miramichi Watershed Management Committee president ….deborah.norton@nbed.nb.ca
We need to put a stop to this practice now!
