First Time Salmon Fishing in YEARS

There is something in my channel intro that I haven't done a very good job at fulfilling... Let's do something about that!
Now that summer is here, it is the time of hear that I do most of my salmon and steelhead fishing. Today, we head to a spot that I have not fished in 5 years to try to hook into one of these Oregon chinook. I show how to set up a float rig to drift salmon roe under a float bobber, how to determine and target different parts of a river, as well as other tips and tricks along the way.
Tips up, tight lines and have fun fishing!

Good too see you out and about. You explained it exactly how I fish for salmon.

[@TheTroutHammer]

Thank you 🤙

[@TheMrmanning71]

Nice to see you getting some content out Scott!!! That’s funny you talk about you can’t catch fish off the couch. I just had surgery a week ago and yep, I’m on the couch. Hope the fish are still there when I’m able to. Thanks for the great informative video. Tight lines!!

[@TheTroutHammer]

Thank you, hopefully you heal up quick! 🤙

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Thank you 🤙

[@dannails1473]

I've been a fan and subscribed to your channel for years. I'm glad to see some new content. I mentioned a few years ago about wanting you to do a meet and greet. This was in the height of COVID and you couldn't/didn't want to. Would you consider something like that now?

[@TheTroutHammer]

Absolutely, I would! Thank you for the reminder!
