The Salmon Are In, The Salmon Are In
The Kings have found their way into Lake Michigan tribs. Duane Stremlau and I fished together on October 8, 9 on Wisconsin’s Sheboygan River. I was using small flies—size 6—mostly black Collared Leeches with a little blue or purple flash built into the Collar. I’m the one that is smiling, the fish just look like fish.
Duane was successful also. In this case, Duane is the one that is wearing a rain jacket.
What weight rod/line would you have been using for those big guys?
Blessings,
Dan Knox
I typically use a 9-wt so I have enough power to handle them. Some use a 10 so they can really put pressure on when needed. Others may use an 8. I’ve used them all, and a 7-wt, too, but I keep going back to the 9.
