Morning Anglers!
Here in Gaspe (Quebec) catch and release is mandatory (as follows):
St-Jean river (all season) June 1 to Sept 30.

Dartmouth: mandatory (June 1 to July 15th) on the 14th they count the salmon in the river and if they judge there are enough ( adult salmon) then it will open July 16th to September 30th where you can keep salmon. Has been the case for a few years.

York River: mandatory June 1 to June 21st.
June 22nd until the mid-season count ( end of July) you can keep salmon. If the end of July count shows many adult salmon, it will stay open to keep fish until Sept 30th. ( has been the case for many years.

Note: when it's catch and release ( it's for salmon over 63cm.you can keep grilses)

We try to promote Catch and Release.



Ann !
