“Often referred as the “sport of kings,” Atlantic salmon fishing has the reputation of being unaffordable to the average angler. While it is possible to spend vast sums of money in pursuit of the ‘king of gamefish,’ good fishing can be had for reasonable prices if one knows when and where to go,” according to benbilello.com. “For American anglers, Canada offers a variety affordable options. Each Canadian province has its own unique run of fish and its own set of rules. Run timing, regulations, and access can be confusing to new salmon anglers. With an understanding of the basics, a productive Atlantic salmon fishing trip is possible for anglers of all means.”

Ben has previously spoken to the chapter about salmon flies and salmon fishing, and his talks fill halls around the region.
