Kinger Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hey folks. I had a busy week of college and was looking very forward to getting downtown and trying to get a King to play. Got downtown just before dusk and washed some glow cleos. Decided to go to a crankbait to rattle an annoyance bite. I went to pull out a pearl bomber long A, but my firetiger HJ got all jumbled up with it, so I put it on instead thinking, yeah I've done good with Husky Jerks on salmon. Sure enough 10 casts later, massive slam and I got into a good salmon, he made 4 or 5 really nice long runs. Thankfully two high school aged kids saw me fighting it and watched, so I asked one of them to take a picture for me. I was quite happy to have got to catch this fish after thinking about it and daydreaming about fishing all week. I got him on my little bench I use to remove the hook and got another quick picture. Then, I wished him good luck spawning and sent him on his way, he revived very quickly and thrashed away! I was considering staying around and throwing some slashbaits for walleye but I opted to rent a movie and wait for my girlfriend to get home for some victory activities, caveman style. My next target, a st. mary's brown trout! wish me luck. Tight Lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 No need to run expensive flouro to catch brownies If anything just use the leader material as your tippet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinger Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yeah, I was thinking of going 10 lb. Maxima Ultragreen as my main line with a long floro leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyhook Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Nice fish man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 is fluro needed or can i catch steelhead on 10 lb line? Not needed at all.. Now if you are fishing gin clear water, you'll most likely have more hookups if you are running a flouro leader, but I know guys that never use it regardless of water clarity.. They make out ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 lemme know if you get a brown kinger... i caught one back in the late 80's (maybe 8 inches) and haven't seen one since. i know they were stocked years ago, but i never see/hear anything about them anymore.

troutologist Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Luc, I got one out of the cdn hole in Feb of 2008, on the south side where the us current meets the pool. No pics as it was ridiculously cold out. Was maybe 5lbs. On an olive jig. Rumor has it they are a little easier to catch after dark, but good luck with wading the raps at night. No it wasnt an atlantic either..... Edited October 5, 2009 by troutologist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinger Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Oh great, I'm hearing more and more that its next to impossible to get a brown during the day down there. Maybe I will have to search for one north or northwest of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 i think the rapids would be the place kinger. get yourself a set of waders and we'll go out floating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
