I had an argument with a salmon angler 2 weeks ago who saw me and a mate catch a few pike and said he throw them up the bank if he caught any . It’s not the first time I’ve had run ins with salmon anglers either . That outdated attitude still seems far too common among the game anglers on the ribble

Not uncommon to see a fish just killed for its roe and just dumped,seen quite a few this year.

It’s a waste . Are they using the roe as bait

Yup,do it myself but I always fillet the fish,I wouldn't just zip it open then discard the fish afterwards.
