Ok bud - I have full on fishy envy! I know who I should have gone salmon fishing with now!!! I was at the next lake down, about the same window. Kids were in/out of camp, and I stayed at Alturas. We too had a bow-fest at Stanley, and never having tried it before, took a stab at the Salmon. Did get some Bull and Kokanee action. I think I could use a few pointers yet on the bigguns, and more time on the water.
Nice fish there. I would have been tickled with even a hookup and a breakoff! Those fish look as big as your kids! Very nice!
Were you fishing the river, or the lake?
We ran home from Stanley up via Challis and stopped at a few holes on the way - with little time, yet high hopes.
I'd love to know what kind of riggings you prefer (pm is fine). Had mixed preferences from a few I visited with. Me - I'll try anything...
Love that area. Got my boy on his first fish on a fly, and had some good fly hookups myself. Always more to explore in that area. Sure to be back next year.
My kids got a mission trip coming up, and to say he's excited would be a major understatement. Jealous am I? YO!!!!
