You have magic with those salmon lol. Still almost wished I was there to see that one you got to bite twice, but I wouldn’t have caught mine up river just minutes after lol. Getting your fly back from the first break off is a cherry on top of it all I think lol.
Awesome fish. If you have to finally give up the open water. Good luck to you on the ice.
I ironically lost that fly a week or so later, fell off of the drying patch on my vest at an unknown location, go figure! it caught me some nice fish at least.Thanks, i didnt go ice fishing last winter, not even once, so somewhat looking forward to it this year even though i'm not a big ice fishing guy.And thanks Jim and Zwiggles for the comments. I estimate the bigger one couldve been 22"+ 4 lbs+
