I heard there was a derby then. Maybe that's why. OK, ok, I think because the king season has been slow.

[curado]

i havent heard of any derby

thanks rollin, let us know what the biggest fish is

Hey, just wondering if anyone could give a few gear tips.

What test lb line to use for main and leader. I want to be on the safe side in case some good size Coho or King snatches it, but light enough so that I am still targeting Pinks... Does it make sense? How long between dodger or flasher and lure?

Thanks

fisherdane, i think im going to go with some ultralight gear this year. depending what size fish im catching then i might go a little bigger. ill probably start with some really light 4 or 6 lbs test and if i hook a silver then its on!!!! if i land it i land it, if not, then so be it. but if that happens ill probably go up to maybe 8 or 10. i hate it when you have a 4-5 lbs fish and you have on 12 lbs test line, not much fun to me. ive always gone on the light side as i enjoy the fight. especially if im in a boat, you can kinda chase the fish down if need be. atleast thats my theory, that normally worked for me and was a ton of fun in hawaii. i just hope that same theory works in the rivers. just cant wait to get out there!!!
