    Salmon Run 2017??

    yes, sometimes they will grab on and shake the crap out of it, but if the current is fast enough, or the fish holds on long enough, you will see your fly line start to curl back, as if it were snagged up on bottom. in clear water, no really an issue, since you can the strike, but when you...

    Both. The water is really cloudy for unknown reasons, so big, dark streams, and just stripping it through the pool, let the current take it, then strip in. The one I posted earlier was sight fished, watched the strike happen

    Stocker brookies look different than wild brookies

    Stocked fish will always have their adipose fin clipped, only way to tell that they are stocked fish. Makes it a quick and easy identification for when the ministry does surveys, no adipose fin, stocked, adipose fin, wild.

    Salmon Run 2017??

    not to say this is what you're doing, but i've seen people that are very skilled at making flossing look legal by doing just that, and they basically 'feed' the fish, ie, right depth and shot swing, to put the bait right into the opening and closing mouth of resting fish.

    Salmon Run 2017??

    that is 100% false, i have had multiple fish give chase, and a few attack my fly. the fish i posted earlier, current was running right to left, the fish is clearly hooked inside the left jaw, kind of impossible to line/floss a fish that way, for one, the fly would be on the outside of the face...

    Is this a legal rig for Salmon and Steelhead?

    You are legally allowed 4 hooks on a single line. What you have described is basically a bottom bouncing rig. It is legal, a lot of guys will use this setup when casting from shore into the river mouth. Also for very large, deep rivers, where I grew up in Sarnia, we'd have what we called a...

    The adipose has no bearing on what sex a fish is, the only that will tell you is whether or not it's a stocked fish. Your fish is female. The protrusion in front of the anal fin and the shape of the jaw. Males will be developing a hooked jaw now, and their fangs will be growing in

    Anyone that says salmon don't bite are fooling themselves. This one sure did want that fly dead. Purple and black with some flashabou mixed in with the candy cane under wrapping. The fly had already gone well past where this fish was sitting, it turned to come back and eat it
