Lights-Out Salmon Fishing. Late June on the Willamette can be very good. 

My pleasure.

Thank you, Joel. I hope you're getting out because the bite is good.

It was not a problem at all. Glad he was able to do some fishing.

Just when you think you've got it dialed-in the fish teach you a BIG lesson. Haha.

Jay, thank you for commenting. I'm not a teacher at a Jr HS or HS but I do teach people how to troll for salmon. I have a "Guided Education" service that I provide as a professional fishing guide.

I really don't know why those rods are performing and my back rods have been pretty quiet this season. It should be noted that most of my fish have been caught trolling with the current and the first rods that the fish see are the bow rods. When fishing against the current my bow rods don't get touched.

Okuma Coldwater reels, not Shimano. They are pretty good reels in my opinion although they are not cheap.
