Thompson River, August 20th & 21st 2011
« on: August 21, 2011, 09:01:35 PM »
Fishing was good. Hooked into a tonne of adults. Dad hooked 3 jacks and landed 2. I hooked 2 but they both came off. Not very many jacks yet, mostly adults. Going back in about 2-3 weeks. After I get back from the Columbia. Nice fishing with Chris and Slick Vic.

Cheers

nice, any pics? Just curious but how do you target them on the T? Roe? BB? Spoons? I've never fished it for Salmon

Float fishing with roe, just like what you'd do on the Vedder, except with heavier float as the current is stronger.

Just roe and you could add wool along with it. I have gotten them on blades too. I got a few pics, but only one of a fish, rest is scenery. Chris took some pics of us fishing with some 15 ish pounders and a nice video, they should be up when he gets back.

Actually as of August.22(yesterday) until Sept.18 you can retain one over 50cm in the new Five locations they added last year just look in the Freshwater Region 3 part of your Salmon Synopsis.

When I talked to him, he was fishing. But I think he might have gone for a swim later.
