Sandy, catching spawning lake trout that will strike at just about
anything (like many salmon) just is not sport to me. I too once
fished that way every so often, and it is true that I got joy and
excitement from catching/landing the fish. However, I could compare
it with making love to an unknown woman in a dark room and enjoying
the hell out of it, but later you find the the woman is your sister.
Well, that is a bit extreme, but I hope you get the idea. My
conscience still bothers me thinking about catching fish during a
spawn. It just is not sport. Sorry, but.....
