SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Finally made it out to the BAR on the first, Third time out for salmon and thanks to some great advice got started pretty quick as soon as the sun came up.

First up was allen and nabbed a 18 lb femall that gave him quite a fight... His first salmon ever! He was beside himself! then we too a 14lb male and then a few small ones that barely popped the releases, when it happened. The right wire out 250 with a 4 1/8 dipsey with a greensilver dodger went off like a rocket! After a battle the fish doubled back and go the the line aroune the dipsey and broke off... it was the biggest so far but then that right rod kept going off!! two more line screamers got away!! one bit through the fly leader and the other straightened out the treble hook! UGH but I felt good that at least we were going it right to have such luck! Thank you for all who gave such greeat advive on "how too" and helped make it such a great day! Ill download the photos tonight.. allen's face is priceless..

hot lure was a green outer gold inner fly with a touch of black mixed in witht he green... hot colors were the green and silver spin dr and dodger

Again THANK YOU to all who threw their two cents/info in to help get my dream of trolling for salmon out on the big O going and becomming successfull!! Without you guys it would never have been. It really was so fun to get out their and get some! NOW I have got to try and get one of thorse big slobs to the boat!

Nice work!

You'll get bitten and broken off occasionally but if they're bending a fly treble on you, you might want to lighten up on the drag a bit. It's there to protect your tackle and line - 'cuz those kings are pretty strong.

yeah I hear ya! It wasn't one of my fly's....store bought one from dick's... needed the color never looked at the hook.... switched it out for a better hook setup and managed a 17 lb male that fought like crazy!
