You dont catch 50lbs arctic salmon without a weighted heavy sinking leader and a size 1 tubefly so i wouldnt call that cheating really, more like reality check hehe. Its not quite my idea of flyfishing really, so I usually use 50-100gram lures on the salmon, but im no huge salmon fisher either. Im more into the one handed, dry fly fishing, but i have much to learn. Hell when we were kids we used to make our own rods from long thin trees and just use them, I still do that if i pass a stream or pond with trout innit and dont have a rod. I find troutfishing more rewarding, its more action and not those endless hours waiting for the salmon.

Tundra Trout:

Often then wind conditions on the tundra dont allow for flyfishing so the old spinner equip comes out. Last pic is the illusive arctic charr, a fish in the salmon family.

Nice photos,,,

Yeah,, we spend as much time fly-tying as we do fly-fishing,,, both are relaxing pastimes

most of my fly fishing was for sea run dolly varden and the occasional trip for lake trout.sometimes the salmon fishing was very exciting,one place we went the water was crystal clear down to about 20-30 feet so you could see the schools of king salmon swimming around,watch them come right up on the lure.the dollys i fished on pretty light gear,all the guys would say i was going to toss money into the bay as i lost alot of lures and leaders on the reefs. i agree that trolling is pretty boring,right until you hook into a fat winter king and you watch him strip your reel three times and barely bring him back each time,i would say 30+ lb fish on 18 lb test line is still pretty sporting!!

I spent a bit of time around Terrace B.C.Landed a nice 36 pound King and a few smaller ones,also some chum's and pinks.Living somewhat close to the ocean now,I have had the oppertunity to fly fish for mackeral,wich are pound for pound the strongest fish I have caught on a fly rod.Also some sea run Browns and brookies.Two things I live for are Flyfishing and Guitar Pickin'..ok I live for Three things really,but no need to explain the 3rd and it aint

Thanks armedoldhippy!

But it's not a Rainbow, it's actually a West slope Cutthroat Trout. These Cutthroats are very similar to Rainbows in many regards though, so much so that they will often hybridize with Rainbows when found in the same waters.
This particular Cutthroat in the picture fell for a Dry fly, a #6 Stimulator.

ya know, i wondered about that after i posted. have seen pix of cutts that looked quite similar. heard they are having troubles in some areas due to hybridization with 'bows. might have to protect them like they are trying with our Appalachian Native Brook trout. build dams, etc, & electro-shock to remove the bows. AOH
