- Ken Tanaka of Wish4Fish is back on the water. This time in Pulaski NY on the Salmon River for the Salmon and Steelhead run.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to land any Steelhead but a couple were caught in our group. I was there with Douglas Outdoors for their annual Salmon Camp. I had an incredible time with a bunch of amazing people.
I was lucky enough to have the NEW Ross Reels Animas with me and put it to the test with these beast Salmon. The reel handled them like a champ. The full review on the Ross Animas is coming soon!

Awesome!!
Thank you very much. If you enjoyed this video please do check out some of our more recent stuff!
I’m counting down the days to September
Very Cool Ken! Makes me wish those beasts could get all the way here! Great job showing the gear and techniques used!
Thanks MLF.
Great stuff Ken.
Thank you Robert.
What an incredible experience! Loved the footage of all the different Salmon and seeing how gnarly they look up close. Still can't believe how legendary those fish are over there! always love seeing my boys Rush and Tyler killin it as well! Nicely done Ken!
Thank you very much Paul.
🙏🍻
Amazing...no foul hooks, all fair hooks.
Thank you.
We actually break them off if they get foul hooked.
Looks like a great time!
It was an amazing time!
Great video. Ken..
That one that went nuts..
You almost took one for the Team..
Look like inches from a nice tackle.. Lol..
Priceless moment..
Thanks for sharing. Ken..
Thank you Frankie. Yeah, that thing was running all over the place!
Live it bro! Music was straight 🔥
Thanks Brotha
Nice Ken. I was there around the same time (Oct 9-10) just above where you guys were fishing (a few hundred yards upstream). Had a great trip and it is always a blast up there as I'm sure you know. Nice video!
Thank you very much for the kind words. I look forward to the Salmon River ever year.
was up there 2 weeks ago all got their limits but it was major snag city
Yeah... unfortunately there is a LOT of that going on up there. Trying to educate people in Pulaski one person at a time. Which obviously takes a long time!
Bass Finatics and you know what's funny about this, you were snagging as well if you were fishing there. You can say what you want but hooking them in the mouth is still a snag, you're just flossing the line through their mouth, everybody does it, you're doing nothing different to get a bite when the fish don't even have stomachs.
Hmmm, that’s funny. Especially when you watch them chase your fly and smash it.
But you’re right. We are both wrong. You know all about how caught our fish.
Wish4Fish just saying, I used to think they would bite to, but if you look at the science of the fish they are there to spawn and they don't have stomachs when the start to make their run up river. Yes it's true, once in a great while you might get a reaction strike from making them upset but it's all flossing really. I'm just trying to educate, not be mean
Joshua - Yeah, when they are way up stream that is true. Although when they are fresh out the lake they still have predatory instincts.
They will also hit your fly because they are just plain pissed off.
Let me “educate” you. I have watched a Salmon move several feet to hit the fly. You can also feel the difference when I fish takes your fly verses accidentally hooking it.
Bucket of blood
Not sure what you’re trying to say.
Solid work as always!
Thank you very much Jason!
Was this in the catch and release area?
No it was not.
Most of the DSR policy is 100% catch and release for ALL trout species and Atlantic salmon. All species must be handled and released ethically; including while taking pictures.
Guests may keep their daily limit of king or coho salmon; 3 fish per stringer combination of both species unless posted otherwise.
What were your thoughts fighting salmon on an 8wt. 8wt seems like it better for steelhead and 9wt for salmon
I didn’t feel any issues with the 8wt. Especially being under gunned.
To each their own. I also have found my preferences change in time. For instance I used to throw streamers with a 6wt and now I prefer a 8wt. 😂🤷🏻♂️
Nice video Ken ! Thanks for including me in there .
Thanks Gerry. Sure thing. It was a pleasure fishing with you again this year.
Hope to see you in Edison.
Looks like a lot of fun. Love the video, nice drone shots as well. New subscriber from Ontario.
Cheers AQ
Thanks a lot for the kind words and support Adrian! Headed to TX next week for 11 days of fishing and filming! Stay tuned!
What size was that Ross Animas?
7/8 - for future reference all that sort of information is in the description box.
Another great vid brotha 💯🤙
Thank you very much for the kind words and support.

@Pablo Lens-Gallardo DSR

Wish4Fish k
EXCELLENT!!
Thank you Raffi
nice ! you making me norvous.....
Thanks Jay. Haha, why nervous?
Beutifulll as alwayssss
Thank you very much for the kind words and support.
Nice fishing Ken. What size tippet are you using? I had a great time at Spruce creek.
Thanks Todd! I was using 12lb and 10lb tippet. Usually with a 20lb butt section.
4ft of 20lb to a swivel and then to a 4ft 12lb or 10lb tippet section.
Glad to hear you had a good time on Spruce Creek! Fantastic stream!
Great inf, Thanks Ken
Man I'd love to get up there. What's the reason for using a single hand Spey line instead of just a sink tip or sinking line? Is it just for distance?
Exactly. With the SHPL you can snap t and snake roll your line much further for covering more water on the swing.
I am talking to them about hosting a trip up there so hopefully you can come join us.
How much that cost at dsr I’m sure it’s not cheap guess u pay for first dibs on salmon
It all depends on what time of year you go. This would of been $60 per day. Although I was with Salmon Camp. The DSR is the first 2 miles of the Salmon River so its first dibs indeed. Well worth the cost of not having to deal with so many people during the Salmon run upstream in the public section.
Here is the price list

How do u like that Douglas sky 6wt?
The Sky 6wt is fantastic. Most all my streamer video from May 2017 until Dec 2018 is with the Sky. Although now I am throwing the Thomas & Thomas Exocett 6wt.
why were you wearing sunglasses?? how well could you see the fish?
I'm sorry. You're right. Fly fishing with eye protection is so stupid.
so they weren't polarized? were all fish that were lifted from the water corner of the mouth?
Oh... my bad. I thought you were just being a smart ass. Hence my smart ass remark.
You can see the fish every now and then. Especially on brighter days.
Yes polarized. Only wear polarized on the water. All fish caught were hooked in the mouth. If it wasn't we snapped them off. It's illegal to land fish hooked anywhere else. Unfortunately not every abides to those laws.
No problem! Thanks for letting me know. And i was up there in September and saw some flossing. hard to watch that!
Sure thing.
Oh yeah... unfortunately it happens up there a LOT.
Just hold the fish up for crying out loud!! This posing/angling the fish towards the camera to make it look bigger is such BS... Even little kids are doing it with 3" sunfish!! Next you will stealing "encounter" from the hunting shows... "We had some wonderful encounters with salmon and steelhead. Encountering these encounters with other anglers seeking to encounter their own encounters while encountering our own encounters while fishing hard lead to encountering many lasting friendships made during such fishing encounters.".
Quit your crying for crying out loud.
I'm just a beginner but common a strike indicator NERD
Hopefully I can be as cool as you one day.
Flossing
Haha!
1. It’s not
2. That’s illegal.
3. Know what you’re talking about before you make comments.
@@Wish4Fish 🤦♂️
@Ralph - I know right! Haha. Always
@Rush - Haha, tell me about it.
Yeah , keep bottom bouncing/ flossing for those fish fuck boy , get some shooting line it will b easier for you , if you really think these fish are taking your egg at this stage in the river , it tells me what kinda expert you are ,
Floseer
Yeah you’re right... because you were there. We were all flossing 🤦🏻♂️
