In the past, fishing for Atlantic salmons was mostly for sustenance. Caught on river runs or on the open sea, these salmons are fished by hundreds. In fact, a number of fishing techniques have evolved to catch these Atlantic salmons as they return to their spawning grounds en masse. Icelandic nomads cut holes on frozen lakes to fish for salmons beneath a layer of ice. Polar bears have learned how to dive and fish for salmons, often displaying superb agility and finesse underwater. And several hunters have copied the formula, teaching hunter dogs to dive into freezing waters to catch salmon themselves. Even the trout tickling have of course evolved on this part of the globe.

For the people on the northern hemisphere, it’s true they have long respected the salmon. Northern indigenous tribes hold ceremonies on shores to honor their first return of the year. Wooden and earthen vessels are adorned with salmon carvings.

Today, Atlantic salmon fishing is done mostly for sports; the centuries of fishing Atlantic salmon have extensively decimated populations. Several the commercial Atlantic salmon was bought away by concerned communities and sports institutions that are alarmed by the rapidly declining salmon specie. While it is still fished for sustenance, most commercial Atlantic salmons are now farmed, grown on fisheries or planted on unoccupied water sheds with sea access, where the salmons would still make their seasonal runs.

Atlantic Salmon fishing is still available for every anglers to enjoy; though some areas would require a strict “catch and release” agenda. While you may not be particularly keen in releasing your catches, you can still measure and take photos with the catch before releasing it back into the water.
