Well, I just got back from a fishing/hunting trip on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. Caught a mess of Pink Salmon and even got in a little grouse hunting while I was up there. It sure is strange to be fishing and have literally hundreds of fish swimming around your feet that are not eating. They are catchable on fly tackle; you just have to get them mad enough to hit your fly. Egg patterns and Egg Sucking Leaches were what they would hit. BTW Pink salmon are fun on a 5wt and they often made some decent runs where the drag came in handy. In Minnesota due to the topography, they do not get far upstream I found out. They seldom get more than a half a mile due to waterfalls that act as barriers, so most of the fishing is done within a few hundred yards of the Lake. Below the falls you are considered fishing the lake, so lake regulations and seasons apply.
