News from Isak....
Out of the slump!
On Sunday I went up to the Salmon river with a guy who I'd fished with before. That day a local guide named Pat let me use one of his spey rod's (a 13 foot custom rod). I was mostly swinging skagit flies on sink tip's that day but at one point I put on a split shot and tried for a drop back steelhead about rod's leanght away. For some reason I casted out a little farther and not happy with my cast I decided to recast. As I picked up to make another cast I felt some weight at the end of the line. Soon I was fighting a steelhead...or so I thought.During the five minute fight it was not until the fish was almost up onto shore that I realized it was anice brown (about six pound's!) Quickly after realizing it was a brown I landed it. It took about a minute to take the hook out and take a few pictures (sorry, not available). The fish took a while to revive but once it was it swam off with no problem.
Until next time tight lines.
Sincerely Isak. K.
