Salmon steelhead meet and greet oct 3,4,5

Attached picture is of glue egg clusters I started making about 10 years ago. I have yet to find anyone who sells egg clusters like these and I can safely say when steel head and browns are on eggs (steel head or brown trout eggs), these clusters fished nymph style will out produce any other presentation. I release every trout I catch, so there's no need to kill a brown or steel head for it's eggs with this fly. If anyone in the M&G wants to further understand what my post was intended to say about fishing the salmon river the right way after the circus leaves town, I'd be more than happy to meet up and offer you what I've earned over the years. As I said, it's a world class fishery and one you will enjoy if you fish it the right way and more importantly at the right time of year and in the right locations. Don't let the excitement of seeing 20 and 30 lb salmon or 15 lb trout influence your behavior. Salmon for the most part will not feed once they enter the river and are in spawning mode. Aside from an occasional aggression strike, they're in the river to perpetuate their species and that's it. There have been countless arguments about this over the years but that's my opinion. Browns and steel head are completely the opposite. Browns will spawn in the fall and have a voracious appetite. I've had instances where I've caught the same fish four times in one day, every one of them actually hit....no snagging or lining. Steel head spawn in the spring and feed all winter long in the river. Eggs and insects are their primary forage. They feed throughout and if you learn the proper techniques you will have an experience of a lifetime and catch a fish of a lifetime....guaranteed.

Good luck to everyone who makes the trip in October, I wish you all the best but as I said please learn the river and proper techniques and don't let the adrenalin rush influence bad behavior. You'll eventually be rewarded for your sportsmanship!

Spent tuesday on the salmon river, low numbers but I saw enough fish as high up as glass pool, water was 66 degrees and no luck with fish. Oswego river today, extreme low water, 66 degrees, limited on fresh kings by 9:05 am.
