Salmon fishing - a great fish to catch, but it'll cost you!

Salmon Fishing

Salmon fishing is one of most popular outdoor sports in the United States and Canada. Thousands of people learn how to fish for these creatures every year. However, salmon fishing can be a very costly endeavor because their populations have dwindled so much. In order to go after them, the law often requires that you have a guide to show you how to fish for them within legal bounds. So be prepared to spend some bucks if you want to do it right.

Salmon fishing is costly because you do not just need to learn how to fish for them; many folks also must travel great distances and camp out for weeks at a time in order to find the optimal angling conditions. Many fishermen travel to Nova Scotia, Iceland, and even Norway in order to catch the best of these fighting lunkers. In the U.S., Alaska is widely considered to be home of the best Salmon fishing.

Many of the rivers for excellent salmon fishing in the United States are privately owned. This is great for the owners, but it means that you will have to pay lofty fees in order to acquire rights to fish there. Many fishermen find that once you add up hotel fees, legal fees, guide fees, etc. it is cheaper to go to a foreign angling Mecca (like Norway) rather than trying it out on the home turf.

The supplies for salmon fishing can be expensive as well. It is no use learning how to fish for these animals with regular lures, because in most places it is illegal to use any angling methods other than flyfishing to catch them. It’s a lot of fun, but a lot of work and expense too!
