This will ensure your line will not get tangled with the angler who is playing the fish. Help land a fish when asked. Avoid disturbing salmon in the pool by being careful as you approach the river. Be a role model for others. If you're an experienced salmon angler, give advice to the novice who requests it.
Atlantic salmon are a limited resource.
By releasing the fish you catch unharmed, you will provide angling opportunities for others. Respect the private property and keep the river and adjacent land free of trash. The adult Atlantic salmon normally return to their home areas from North Atlantic feeding grounds in late May through June and again in the fall after the water temperature drops. Spawning occurs in gravelly sections of the river and its tributaries in November, with each female laying about 800 eggs per pound of body weight into a depression she has swept into the stream bed. The male fertilizes the eggs as they are laid.
