    In Northern Labrador, Jim Burton, owner of the Flowers River Lodge, a member of ASF's Live Release Rewards and Recognition Program, attributes the increase of salmon to the Flowers River on his insistence that anglers practice total live release.Regulations on the Northern Labrador rivers allow anglers to retain four fish, one of which can be a large fish.

    The owner-operator of the Flowers River Fishing Lodge, well- known St. John's realtor Jim Burton, says each year they are seeing more and more large salmon, which they attribute to their 100 per cent catch and release program for all Atlantic Salmon. He pointed out a number of the salmon are 20 pounds and heavier. Flowers River is reporting a big year for non-resident guests, from different parts of Canada and the United States, including Tennessee and the New Hampshire area. Burton says they have very cool water in the Flowers River with snow melting off the higher mountains flowing into the river which keeps temperatures cool. He stated its everybody's duty to be good stewards of the rivers and help the Atlantic Salmon stocks grow.

    This past summer I was fortunate to be among a group of fly fishers who visited the lodge of St. John's realtor Jim Burton at Flower's River, Labrador. It is the Northern-most Labrador river to maintain an annual migration of Atlantic salmon, and the lodge is located only 20 kilometers from the ocean. It was originally built as a 'getaway' for executives of the Bowater mill in Corner Brook. Jim bought the operation in the late 1990s from his dad, Vince Burton, a long-time Labrador outfitter who has also operated lodges on Igloo Lake and the Eagle River.
    ...
    In a departure from the normal operating strategy, Jim decided in 2002 to make his lodge a total hook-and-release operation for Atlantic salmon. It was a decision not made lightly because many of his guests wanted to return home with a large, multi-sea winter salmon. Any retention was limited to Arctic char and brook trout. Jim told me "As the only outfitter on the river, I felt an obligation to become the steward of the resources that kept me in business. Too many large salmon were being taken by my guests each season." It took a few years for the policy to bear fruit, but Jim noticed a larger number of multi-sea winter fish returning to Flower's River and being hooked by his clients. It was common to see fish in the 20-30 pound range being released, and some which his guides swore were 40 pounds or more were seen. The hook and release policy was bringing results.

    Veteran bush pilot Jim Burton picked us up in his float plane at Goose Bay for our flight north to Igloo Lake and Flowers River, my favorite salmon river.

    Jim landed his plane lodge-side, and we were promptly greeted by the local mosquitoes, black flies, guides, and cooks - in that order.
