well it sounds like ur on the train, but like I said, when watching that camera, what looks like a 22 inch fish by those lines they have on there, is probably actually much larger.
Don't get the idea that there aren't any B fish that come back to the salmon river, there are quite a few actually, but given how many A fish there are, it's kinda a needle in a haystack effect. I fish down the canyon below the North Fork quite a bit, and sometimes there will be a certain day, or even a couple of days when those big boys seem to be coming through in stronger #'s. Also certain tribs/release sites have strictly A fish, some have strictly B fish, and some have a mix of both. Some have lots of C and D fish, but for simplicity's sake, we'll just refer to anything bigger than an A as a B.
The beauty of the Clearwater is that except for probably right now, catching a A runner is probably less likely than catching a B on the Salmon. And call me crazy, but I seem to think that A's bite more/better than B's.
