Hi everyone new member as you can tell, love to fish all over. Only been in this state about 2.5 years, still have alot to learn about fishing up here. The necessary fish story. Had been fishing at Tanner Creek a few times for Springers and had on caught 2 both had fins. This time the crowd was rod holder to rod holder said, forget it. Went to the Sandy and threw a Spin n Glo stuck the rod in the rod holder headed for the nearest bush it was a short walk no problem-- as I stood there keeping an eye on the fishing rod it started jumping and the rod holder was pulled over & by the time I got there the pole was almost all the way in the water. But I got my first Salmon 22lb.

Welcome aboard! Sounds like you are indeed a Lucky Man ... many people fish for years before they keep their first salmon! Sounds like you're well on your road to figuring out this sport. Glad you've joined us!

Glad to have you, Lucky. My usual best bite of the day happens when I have a cup of hot coffee in one hand and a donut in the other! :grin:

No luck here. Head for the bushes for a relief dump and the fish always bite! :grin:
