this guy has some good tips for ya
Wally, run flashers and short leader 12-18” leader with pink squirtFolks who know more than me: will you start out running flashers or dodgers?
I used to run dodgers but got humbled badly 2 years ago and went home short 1 fish. Everyone claimed ya gotta have moon jelly on your flashers. Well next day out with new flashers we were the first boat off the water with our 4. I run about 18-20" leaders, pink uv squirts, 50 lb leaders to help add to the whip and 6/0 owner hooks. Lost so many on the 2/0-4/0 gammys and ran the big gaff hook which produced meat on the deck. Getting close now guys, I can't wait!Folks who know more than me: will you start out running flashers or dodgers?
I started running tandems off the Fraser and rarely lose fish now. I just have lots of squirts tied up for quick resets.I used to run dodgers but got humbled badly 2 years ago and went home short 1 fish. Everyone claimed ya gotta have moon jelly on your flashers.

I have both dodger and flasher setups ready to go, I guess I could get all experimental and run one of each for the first tack. Also will have some kone zones off the cannonballs for extra aggro.I used to run dodgers but got humbled badly 2 years ago and went home short 1 fish.

Single barless for all salmon fishing in fresh water bud. 1 hook!Tandem hooks are still allowed no?
I understand single barbless referring to no treble hooks.
Single barless for all salmon fishing in fresh water bud. 1 hook!

That’s straight from the fisheries notice. If it was supposed to be a single barbless hook, it would look like this. “A single, barbless hook is required when fishing for salmon in non-tidal waters of bc.” I don’t know why they don’t change the wording because the way that it’s worded means you can fish a dual, single hook set
Damn good catch... why do we need lawyers to dicipher this regs now in this day and age. I"m running 1 single in the morning... I"m not dealing with a CO on a power trip. Real lawyers cost money to fight them. You coming out FD?View attachment 83097
