The Little Salmon?
That was my home, I grew up right next to Donahues...Texicana...I would get off the Bus and my waders were waiting on the porch...after about 1992 I have probably fished the river 5 or 6 times...back in the day it was everyday from first run till first ice I was down there...Used to sell eggs to flatrock and sell the salmon to the drunk fishermen at the bar...to pay for my habit...great times great childhood
I heard a rumor about some kings moving in and checking out the mouth offthe river. Probally that pod I was on off the dunes in 144 fow last weekend
Hunt yes we still use cut bait. Jons has herring strips cut to rys davis specs. Sushi flies are re tricket though. He has them as well. But try are basically a tournament tie with brass wire smelled on the single hook. Then you can run whatever fly you want. Personally I like atommik. But the big weenie flashabou fly in the color lake o glow is slowly becoming my favorite. Early morning run white paddles with glow. As the sun comes out switch to chrome. Pm me and ill tell you my whole program. Im no expert like gambell or Broadhorizons but I have a decent idea of what im doing
You fishin tomorrow Adam?, I don't think you have to look too far away now...once we get the next east wind event, then back to west ..we should be set right up for the season...
we are going to fairhaven tommorrow. i need a weekend off from mexico
LOL...that was my side yard as a kid...it used to be hopping...I got to see and hear a lot of stuff out there at night through my window...and then when I was older it made my commute back home pretty easy... Yeah the fishing in river used to be great...very dissapointing now with the tiny run...Cheeks lives right on the river now and we go down there for fun every once in a while...he watches the fish from his window and calls me when they are splashin!
I run two riggers...the names of the different dodgers and slashers are greek to me these days but I have a bunch of different ones...I will probably run Green glow with green fly off one tomorrow and then I will run a silver or brass with purple/pink fly...and probably at least one cheater off port the rigger...also will probably run one dipsy...I haven't fished like this since the early 90's so all the new terminology is greek...I'll look to get some cut bait I have the old rigs for that as well...caught a nice Brown the other day on a frog loco spoon it was choppy out there so I stayed about 65-45 FOW...
