last weekend

Me and a friend went up for the first time last Saturday. Fished from about 2 til 7 just up from the bridge in Pulaski - skunked. Next morning we set out at daybreak and fished upstream til about 2 in the rain saw two hookups all day (not ours). Then we decided to join the crowd down stream and from 4:00 on it was on fire with kings.
I assumed that fishing for them would be similar to steelie-NOT! I'm an avid steelhead fisher and floated everything I could find with no hookups untill I threw on cannon balls and sponge. (wuts up with THAT)
As for steelie, I didn't see any. Just rumors of his lurking. THose few hours of action were worth the whole trip, CANT WAIT to do it again.

both. We hooked em in the mouth but also had some just get snagged. Yeah, i'm thinkin i just didnt have enough weight, at leaste when we were down stream and the water was wild. But i did have enough when I was in bigger slow water. Again though, I was fishing as if they were like steelie, so my presentation was ticking the bottom. That's not where they hang is it?...

yeah......what pafisher said

turbulent water... hands down the best salmon water...  slow deep water gives the fish too much foresight and by the time your line is down near them they simply just hover a little to the left or right.  also, in slow deeper pools, salmon are usually moving around eventhough they're resting.  in fast water, they will find that perfect spot and just sit for 30 seconds up to 20 minutes.  you never know. good luck

Hey Salt when I see my belly in the mirror I think I might eat in my sleep. More likley that I drink beer
