double hook salmon fishing The Garry Dog Fly This is a traditional hook for salmon Green Highlander – Double Hook

After an hour and a half of give and take, with a few close calls thrown in, Tony Quest gaffed this fish

They have forked tails and pointed heads, and are very thick-bodied, muscular fish

Yes, monofilament remains a viable option, especially for topwater lures and crankbaits where its buoyancy and stretch are beneficial

This reel also features Abu Garcias IVCB-6 braking system and Power Stack Carbon Matrix drag, which both provide an exceptional amount of fine-tuning ability, as well as an impressively smooth feel when casting or fighting fish

Fast forward to present day and this lure still holds a coveted spot in my tackle bag
