When the leaves fall from the trees in fall, the salmon settle into their new home on the upper reaches of the rivers. There they spawning and house themselves under the shield of the winter’s ice. In spring they head down river to the ocean and feed for the summer. They make their way to the coast of Green Land and back to the very spot where they were hatched. On the way down the river these fish are easier to catch. Being a guide I can take you to these incredible fish. I practice catch and release and try to capture the salmon, take a picture and release it back in its realm as quickly as possible. A speedy capture and release help ensure the fish’s survival on its journey to Greenland. Maybe next year you will catch it again after it gains 20 pounds.
