John Bilotta and I took a trip up to Pulaski this week to fish for steelhead, swinging flies on the double-hand rods. Very tough fishing for steelhead, not very many in the river yet. I briefly played one on the Salmon River but it shook the hook.
I caught this female chinook on the swing on the Salmon River and that was terrific fun. Amazing power in this fish, and incredible to see the double-hand bent so deep.
Tried our luck a couple times on the Oswego with our guide, Eliot Jenkins, for anything that would bite a fly. I had two hard hits but lost them; operator error on my part. Saw lots of spinning rig guys bringing out salmon, steelhead, and trout.
All in all, a great trip!
