Went again the other day and did pretty well, and pulled up a nice panter martin, actually a large and small one.  We went catfishing and it was a bust, grabbed our salmon gear and headed to the trailhead and sat there for almost an hour waiting for the sun to begin to show.

The salmon were THICK!  3-5 jumping at any given time, trout jumping all over too.  I had on a nice one within a couple casts, then lost it when my line broke.  Landed a nice one with good coloring... and roe    and had tons of line bumps and/or hits.  Switched to something I'd never tried before but had pulled up on broken lines and started getting frequent hits!  I now have a new, cheaper secret weapon   

We hooked some douches across the river who kept blatantly casting over our lines, then shortly before we were going to leave I hooked a hog.  Longest fight I've had with a salmon in a while too!  Big old male, kinda ugly, but had great looking meat!
