Fished a new spot yesterday it paid off 20 plus flags 9 salmon all between 14 to 17 inches all released. Could not manage to get a togue what a beautiful day to fish. It was a great day until I received a call that a friend got killed in a skiing accident at Sunday river. R.I.P Ben Taylor lost a really good guy with a bright future.

Glad to see you did well on Salmon there. Most people that I've talked to are only catching Togue or Bass.  Sorry for your loss.

Pulled the hook on one togue there, Couple other flags, and one togue landed between the 3 of us. Was a beautiful day, I wanted to relax though so didn't do to much jigging

Two of us a guy came over an he said he had been fishing that area all winter an he said u r lucky if u catch one or two salmon there a day. He said it's usually really hot for togue an I bet I jigged at least an hr of the day an never got a hit. I lost what I think was a good salmon close to the hole. 15 to 30 feet of water is where they were biting. I got a Marcum LX so I got the depth on all the holes I was fishing from 15 to 90 feet of water. 15 to 50 feet for salmon 90 an 60 for togue. Wicked drop off

We were using small smelts.  I guess a lot of ppl use crawlers for salmon on embden.
