Fishing with Rod

One more leap! 🐟
How is your trout fishing season going?

For our recent Cariboo kokanee trip, we used Shimano Talora kokanee trolling rods. These rods are incredibly soft, designed to reduce your chance of losing those ballistic kokanee while you attempt to net them near the boat. We paired these rods with the Tekota counter reels, so we knew exactly how much line we were letting out beind the boat. Instead of downriggers, we used leadcore lines which kept our presentations around 10 to 20 feet below the surface. The rods are secured in Scotty R5 rod holders, for those quick pick-ups when the rods buckled down.

What a fatty! Murphy Sportfishing's Kyuquot fishing season started this week and I can't wait to experience it again during the upcoming visit. Here is a Thursday throwback photo from a couple summers ago. Are you pumped for some chinook salmon fishing in the next few months?

Comments from the last photo.

"I suggest that you only keep two."
A: I suggest that you keep what you're legally entitled to and mind your own business.

"Why do you keep everything you catch?"
A: If I keep everything I catch, I'd have to zoom way out to take these photos.
