mistaredone Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Great info. It's tempting me to grab my fly rod and head out on a weekday. Do the crowed die down after the samlon spawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaShag Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I did not read the article, and it may already include two snippets offered below. Here they are: 1. If you can see the fish, they can see you. 2. Spawning Chinook don't generally eat much, but do strike at reaction type lures like a flatfish/kwikfish/etc running in the current near them.

YUP Is still my fav. Funny how it was the go to, at a stretch of river here,but most seem to take up spots and pin drift now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaShag Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Back to Brian B, yes indeed it was the Pine, Nottawasaga, Mad and to a lesser extent the Sydenham and the Pottowatami (sp?) that I used to hot-shot, mostly with skunk pattern Flatfish. And HANG ON for the strike! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And HANG ON for the strike! Doug Now your talking Doug. It was a rush when that strike came. I dont recall ever missing a hit. When they grabbed it,it was a fight til the end. Straighten hook or break off was the only way I lost one. Back then,there was respect for all anglers to pull up. I always have a kwik in my sack. Salmon or bows. I find a deep moving pool,I throw it on for a go. Edited September 20, 2014 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 If you can see them, they can see you. I wouldn't even attempt to catch those fish. Let them do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
