Title: More Landlocks
Post by: TightLinesMaine on Dec 07, 2021, 11:45 AM

Had a wicked fun 2 to 3 week stretch of fishing for these last month; went at least a half-dozen times, had a few skunks early on but made up for it later in the month with a good streak including a multiple salmon day (hooked 4+ landed 3 on one particular day).  Biggest was a thick 20"+ (maybe 21"+), had to have been 4 lbs easily; my biggest since 2019.  The highlight was the biggest salmon I landed made a legitimate "wake" after my fly (he was in shallow water) not once but twice while furiously stripping a streamer fly before I eventually hooked up, I still get chills thinking about it; super exciting.  For the record, these aren't all from the same location, I had a few different spots I was targeting them at; and caught at least 1 at each spot.

Bravo! Those are some brutes! I personally think you are being a bit conservative in your weight estimates, those gotta be pushing 5lbs!

Great fish, Randall!  Way to get on those late season salmon.  Definitely a few different spots from clean bottom to leaf carpet. Nice pics 8)
