Some of The Most Fun I've Ever Had While Fishing

Digging back into the archives a few years for these photos. I went to Lake City. Colorado with one of my brothers, Mike.  Depending on the Salmon population, they have a 3 day snagging season.  This is not about outsmarting a fish.  It's about muscle, heavy tackle, and table fare.  Casting up and across stream, we threw 5/0 treble hooks with 3 ounce weights molded to the shank of the hook. Let it sink, then jerk like you're setting the hook on a bass.  Keep doing this until you snag a Salmon, or have to cast again.  You'll know when you have a fish, and when you do - HANG ON!  These all ended up on the table, either right away, or in our freezers.
