Will do. I try to be as careful and gentle with the fish as possible. I'll try to keep the fish fully submerged in the water next time I attempt to snap a quick picture and just hope I don't lose it in the process. Quite hard fumbling around in my jacket finding my phone while holding the fish in the other hand I must say!

Yeah you end up with a lot of photos like this...

It's not flossed that is a pink jig. You tie it to a float and float fish.

It's actually a fly, not a jig.

Can I use an 8 foot leader?

Now let's get this thread back on topic. Fished the lower this morning for a few hours and brought a few pinks to hand. Was surprised that the pinks were hitting roe. No coho or Chinook for me today but it's just a matter of time as I'm using my special cured roe.

What colour was your roe?

Caught lots of those pesky Pinks when fishing for Coho in the past.

I try not waste roe when there are lots of pinks in the system.

Doesnt look to harmed. You must work for Green Peace?

Salmon are covered in a protective slime that prevents tiny parasites, bacteria and infections from entering the salmons body. When the fish goes on the rocks, dry or wet, it wipes away the slime leaving them vulnerable. Just trying to help some people out with proper handling etiquette because there's a lot of guys who'd see this on the river and won't say it as nicely.

I'm using pink salmon roe cured with good 'ol borax. It's a natural orange colour. When the water's as clear as it is now, using less intense, natural colours will outfish that "double hot red" procure stuff as the fish won't spook as easily by it. When I got that spring a few days ago, a guy was already fishing the run with some vibrant red roe with no luck and on my second or third cast in the same spot, BAM fish on. Try to use smaller fingernail size pieces as well. Good luck!

I know that but if you're fishing pink (or close to it) you are likely to catch Pinks, though they will hone in on pretty much anything depending in their mood.

So I'm not as surprised that they went for the roe as someone else might be.

when I was out flossing them yesterday    they preferred a chartreuse and black clouser over anything pink.



looks like this girl survived a meeting with a net. so those genes went back to the pool.
