RE: salmon fishing in Cape Breton (update)
Sounds like fun.
I go up to the Salmon River in NY a couple times a year for the Kings... but it is so crowded it almost isn't enjoyable.
Just got back from Lake Ontario last night after fishing 2half days for kings. Very slow. We got 3 (24, 20, & 14lb) and lost 4.
Slow days out.
