Giant snakes, big brookies and steelhead is just around the corner. Turning out to be a banner year.

Fishing shouldn't be apart of the Olympics.

I've got experience with that, I'd be happy to tag along, lol!!! Mr.Borger, I think I need to check Alaska off my list!

No reason anyone needs 5 fish in the lake, bring it down to 2.

Lake Huron/Superior chinooks don't get to the proportions like their Lake O cousins do... Also if it was a coho, the lower jaw would be a lot more pronounced, especially this time of year.

Chinook.

I use my nieces Dora rod for jerkbaits. It's pretty awesome

Get outta here with this non-sense! LOL!

I guess fish change when they want to, lol! I've found chromers way up stream as well, and also black boots out in the river mouths before they even enter the river. I guess that's one of the joys of salmon/steelhead fishing, you never know what's on the end of the line

Drowning in a Ranger definitely doesn't sound like a good way to go, I can't believe anyone would think that, lol!

Dave, how long of a drive is that from Yellowknife?

Perhaps from shore, but from a boat a 7ft rod is the perfect rod for jerkbaits, topwaters, whatever. (Unless you're a midget, lol)

Wonder if 4 years later all those stocking efforts did anything..

I really like a 7ft rod, regardless if it's 1pc or 2pc.

You require a 20ft Ranger, get with the times!

Steelhead? Looks like a big fat chinook hen to me..

Not a fan of combos either.. Definitely spend more on the reel then the rod as everyone has stated. A cheap reel will give you nothing but headaches, a cheap rod is just a cheap rod. Citica was my first reel and my oldman still uses it as his walleye rod to pull around worm harnesses.. Never an issue with that reel, it was also fairly cheap ($120 or so)

Salmon start getting dark way before they enter the rivers...

:clapping:

Man, you overcooked those eggs!! lol!

I love these comparison pictures, great for a laugh!

I've got oversized cork on both my rods. Definitely helps during those long days on the river.

You gotta stop catching snot rockets

Just stock Atlantics and the problem will be solved.

Just squeeze the gill plates, no reason to put your fingers on the inside.
