Well, it’s mid July, and I finally landed my first limit of 3 salmon…and I netted my own this time to see if I still had the juice, and I do. One before dinner on the 5th cast, and 2 more just before bed, with no injuries other than what the bonker did to the salmon. No worries, they’re in the brine and headed to the smoker now and despite the torrential downpour today I’d call it a success.  35 years of fishing with the same pole has it’s perks.
