Hi,

I have responded to several messages tonight.

To clarify, this would include teaching you how to catch salmon properly in the mouth in tributaries and landing at least one fish. If the water is clear, you will get to see the salmon biting the presentation. Having learned these techniques, you can then employ them at any pool of salmon in the future and even at the rivermouths.

Bait and hooks are included. The price I quoted is to cover my gas, so hopefully it's a reasonable price.

Any spinning outfit is fine - but obviously the length of your rod will determine how long it takes to land a fish. I would recommend 6 to 10 lb line. Some fancy lines are heavier but have a 6 to 10 lb diameter - that's fine as long as the line is not too visible.

May take less than an hour depending on how long it takes to land a fish, but I would give it around 2 to 3 hours to be safe.

I can offer a similar service for Brook Trout and Brown Trout until September 30th, please let me know if you are interested!

The lesson and demo would be comprehensive and would teach you not only about salmon fishing in tributaries, the techniques would also apply to most fresh water species of fish.

if it takes u 2 to 3 hour to land fish in a river that's not good lol, and if u do land it it wont swim of from exhaustion and it will die. I been running 10lb mono and been landin all my fish within 10 to 15 min and sometimes even less.Now if u get a snagged fish of course it will take 3 hours land or even more lol. Big rods help 2 13ft is the best bet.

I'm pretty sure he meant it would take that amount of time to hook into one, not fight it for a couple of hours

yeah maybee i miss read it

Doesn't excite me. Most salmon caught in the mouth have never bit at all.

Fishing during the fall run: I had somewhat of an idea last year, but did better with browns during the fall.

Recently, that changed. I learned how to get salmon to bite consistently. Not just nibble, I'm referring to aggressive strikes that are very exhilarating to watch in clear water!

A lot of people floss and snag salmon. My guiding service exists to teach people how to legitimately get salmon to bite. One such technique is outlined on this forum by Openfire.

I have mastered many bodies of water for many species of fish: pike, bass, walleye, resident trout, steelhead etc. Live bait, plastics, hard baits, flies, topwater, jigging, ...

I can say for certain that very little in fishing compares to fighting and landing a fresh run salmon that is hooked legitimately because it inhaled your presentation. Chasing 10-40lbs of pure energy for 3-15 minutes is extremely challenging. No flossing, no egg sinkers, no super heavy line. It's like fighting 5 steelhead at once. It's a full body workout, especially in narrow parts of tributaries when you have to chase them up and down for long distances.

*Note for prospective clients: not all of my salmon spots require waders and actually running through the water.

I usually get a fish on every drift because I am a very experienced angler. I am very experienced because I am fortunate to spend a lot of time fishing. Some months, that's several hours daily.

On average, even the strongest Chinooks take me less than 10 minutes on 6lb line. My guiding service, on average, will be around 2 to 3 hours. This is because myself and my clients will be driving a fair distance to the locations. In order to make the most of the time with me, I recommend they set aside a couple of hours. It may take a novice angler some time to land a salmon.

If I accidentally snag a salmon (or steelhead or any other fish), I usually break it off immediately.

In 2 to 3 hours, I can give a complete lesson and demonstration and hook into several salmon and land some.

A lot of people are saying that I am charging a very small fee.

If I am not mistaken, a day on a boat on Lake Ontario would cost around $100 per person. The boat ride itself is nice, and if you land fish that's great. You may or may not learn much about fishing that you can actually apply later on. I'm sure fighting a salmon out on the lake is fun, but maybe not as challenging and exhilarating as fighting one at the mouth or in pools.

With me, you would definitely learn a lot that you can apply to all types of fishing.

Still, I would not feel right charging anywhere near $100. As such, if you feel that you enjoyed your time and learned a lot, tips are welcome LOL

100$ is the avg.. i have been out with the "Salmon Doctor", and it was a blast, best fishing of my life...

it was amazing how much you have to know when running a charter.. and i learned more in one day of fishing then i have in 6 months of fishing....

My goal is to concentrate countless hours of fishing experience into one outing so that you walk away not just with the skills to tackle salmon on your own, but skills that will translate to all species.

Of course, some anglers will already be experienced and just be looking for salmon techniques.

Can you teach me other techniques? Like gettting laid?

That's a pretty bold statement to make.
