FAT GUY RUNNING !!! hahaha I love it when the GUIDE lines, snags, lifts a fish for his client to reel in.......I had a guy once walk right in front of me and jump up on a tree stump......I go, whoaa buddy, what the hell ya doing......he said, I am a local and catch more fish here than you ever will-- I go...ahhh OK BUDDY......he proceeded to cast and RIP......no poop......what a dork.... I was on the black river once near the dam......saw a guy who lived right there working fish all morning...him and his 3 goonies........they must have caught and killed over 25 salmon........it was like a gauntlet..........they would string up a few...then drag them to the house--REPEAT........this dude even had the balls to ask if he could have our fish......I told him to get lost and released the fish........some people just flat out abuse the resource PS...I have a friend on the river NOW......he said a big push came through DSR........he has been up there since Sunday and has done pretty good.......he keeps moving around......said the Fly Zones have fish.......he caught a bunch of browns and lost one that was over 10 pounds........he has been catching a mix bag of fish......darn do I wish I was up there....... Ya cant go up there expecting "A river runs through it" solitude LOL....I actually find the whole circus kinda amusing and have met some great (and crazy) people while at it. I also never had any dsire to eat any of the Salmon from there! - LOCALS!...lol

2 - This was in the DSR. Yes I used the crystal pom-poms in xmas and spring colors - LOL...less than $10 for 400 of them. BTW - I now even skip the thread, just slap some glue on the hook and jam it on. When the fish were there it just didn't matter! Hoping to head back up for some steelheadin' later on.

Just fished the Salmon river on Thurs and Friday....it was crankin' for a few hours Thurs with some good runs, hookups nonstop...Friday it was dead. Hit or miss as its still early. TMC 2457 hooks (6/8) and a big bag of glo balls from Micheals Craft store. Red/Orange was hot.

Opinions on the best travel vise? I am on the road a lot for work and may start tying on longer hotel stays. thank you!
