Salmon on the fly

[Monello]

I got another silver today using a 2/0 hook with some chartruese yarn. I also nailed another 18 pink salmon but 1 silver really gets your blood pumping. Took around 15 minutes to land with a 5 weight fly pole.

Ain't nobody fishing shirtless up here!

Yup those are sea lice. Ole girl came in straight from the saltwater. Probably wasn't in the creek more than 30 minutes before she hit my fly.
