Michigan Salmon run

[Redhorse]

Put together a 9wt fly rod for this years week at the river. Got some pics to share...

Caught a couple of brown trout also...got them on egg patterns as they are in there eating the salmon spawn. Didn't bother going to the bank to get pics of them...released them immediately back into the river.

Last pic is a big 18lb male which ended up being the largest fish for our camp that week...also the only fish I did not catch on my flyrod. Not the most flattering picture of me, but it shows the fish well...and my leg getting spoojed :eek::D

Nice fish, by the way, and nice job on the rod, too!

Ya know...I felt kinda... violated, sorta used, but I got over it real quick and threw him in the cooler :popcorn:
