    I fish the salmon river in Pulaski. At the beginning of the run smallmouth are still spawning in the river. I've seen kings, Steelhead, cohos, go after the smallmouth right towards the shoreline clearing them out for them to spawn. Wild site

    When do you change your skein? How many cast do you get from a piece? How much do you go through in a day?

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Good questions! For me , I like to run a chunk for about ten minutes..sometimes I think they hit it better after it has milked out and turned a bit white . On a good morning of fishing I might go through about 1/2 to 1 of a one quart ziplock bag of skein. Depends heavily on the bite. Hope this helps

      same here! I’m some holes it varies they want fresh skein and I’m some holes the want it super milked out and white so it just varies!

    6:29 maybe you don't know but lifting salmon by their tail damages the nerves in their spine, causing partial paralysis, usually leading to the fish's death. Otherwise great video.

      I have seen Atlantic Salmon under 5lb go belly-up after this so it definitely affects salmon. Most people don't know that this can be so bad though.

    Great to see you guys fishing legitimately. Those guys fishing gravel are ripping fish from their spawning beds, makes me sick. Glad you guys did well on skein and spinners. I must admit, listening to that pin grinding sand hurt my ears but it’s part of fishing some days. Love the bobber downs and instant topwater headshakes, never gets old. Great video as always, Fray.

    • @FishFray
      @FishFray  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes , bags will work! I prefer skein because it looks more natural in the water and I suspect they will hold onto it longer

    • @FishFray

      I think in general the twitching technique would lead to foul hooked fish in the areas that I fish, so I haven't really tried it for kings. I actually got a summer steelhead out of a creek on a twitching jig recently, though
