Bait bans are now on many rivers, including those that ban scent. It can be a challenge that fishermen must overcome. Among the artificial presentations are spoons, jigs, spinners, worms, minnows, and synthetic copies of roe. In British Columbia, however, anglers are not allowed to add any scented residue, including synthetic scents, like anise oil [...]

We favour keeping the silver Chum Salmon for Candy Salmon. Chum salmon has a subtle taste and lower oil composition than other salmon types. Nevertheless, it remains a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and serves as a nutritious option for obtaining lean protein. These salmon are perfect for cold smoking, a traditional skill deeply [...]
