Yankee Troller Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Set up in the River around 6am and did the combat thing for like 3 hours. Only managed 1 rip on a white/dew spinny with a TG fly, out on the wire 40' back. Pulled the lines and headed out to the deep stuff. Stopped around 250-300ish and set up figuring we would work our way out to that 400-450' range. Didnt get my 5th rod in the water and FISH ON! For the next few hours we just smacked the 2yr old salmon and chrome. Biggest steelie was only 8-9lbs and the biggest king was 10-12 lbs. Not very big fish, but I had a guy from work on board and he thought the non stop action was unreal. He ended up letting me reel in the 10 color after he battled a fish on it once. We had somewhere near 15 bites and most of them came in the last few hours we fished the deep stuff. Fish were taking hammer time, white/dew spinny with a TG fly, dew spinny with a lemon/lime fly, and a few even took spoons.
Billy V Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Nice report YT! Welcome to the board...hope to see you here more often!
GLF Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 He ended up letting me reel in the 10 color after he battled a fish on it once. I passed up on a full core rip. The fish ended up being a 13.4 lb brown trout Maybe I will not be so lazy next time.
Yankee Troller Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 I dont think its all that bad reelin in 10 colors. I mean COME ON theres a fish on the other end! I love watching that rod ping off the big boards from a king.
GLF Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Its not bad reeling in 10 colors once or twice. But after you do it 6 or 8 times.....
