  1. Great podcast with Colin, he did a great job at covering the basics of Atlantic salmon in Newfoundland. I live in Newfoundland so for anyone interested in making the journey there are two salmon fishing regulations he got wrong.
    First, double hooks are not allowed here anymore and haven’t been for a while. Second, all hooks must be barbless on salmon rivers.

    Hope this helps!

    • Thanks for the feedback Dan! This is great to hear. I’m guessing there are some other areas where the double hook is still allowed but maybe they’ll get here as well. Awesome to hear they are barbless there as well. Let me know if you have an idea for a more advanced A. salmon guest down the line.
