Been wanting to head north so ,I woke before the sun and I finally pointed my truck north up the Northway to a river I lost a huge bow on last year. This time, I had a very action packed morning despite not hooking that beast. Some bows were chunkers and gave nice tussles on the 6x tippet. And then, it happened again. On one of those “ok, maybe just one more cast “ sayings that run through your mind , my wetfly got brutally attacked on the swing! A huge silvery sizeable Bismarck went skyrocketing straight up on my light hookset, as this beast crashed back into the seam it was hiding in , the light 6x tippet decided to part ways. What a huge beautiful salmon! Was I bummed? Absolutely, a lot of “what ifs” then formulated in my mind, then , the logic kicked in and I was very happy that it went so high and showed itself off very nicely. A lot of times we never even get a glimpse from a big fish that departed. So,as I called it a day , I drove home quite pleased about the very early rise and the decision to head north. Here’s a few that stayed on and completed my Grand Slam or Hat Trick or maybe the Cycle. If the salmon made it to the net , then what would we calm it then? Hmmmm.
