I would love to get some Sockeyes on a fly rod, that would be a blast!
8 wt for sockeye. 6 or 7 wt for pinks. I prefer a 7 wt because its easier to cast on a windy day.
When you're flyfishing for pinks what kind of line do you use? Standard sinking line? I've been interested in doing some salt chuck flyfishing since moving out of the interior, but I've never gotten around to it yet. Also, I have a 5 weight and a 8 weight rod, Im guessing a 5 would make it more fun?
well the unfortunate part for many i know, i dont work at that place anymore and have just switched jobs this week and am now at a private lodge, it all came about very quickly, but hopefully the ribfest will happen later this summer in say august or september....holmes*
You can get away with a 5 but a 7-8 is better, you don't have to run the fish down so much to get him in.When you're flyfishing for pinks what kind of line do you use? Standard sinking line?

I prefer a clear sink tip. Seems to catch good numbers for me.fast sinking is key, hard to floss with a floating line!
wait for it.....
you will be surprised at the power of pinks in the campbell. 8 wt. is not overkill for traditional casting. i use a sage 5120 spey rod. dry line 9 ft. leader bb size split shot. be aware upper river weighted not allowed.
float fishers do well because of presentation, however heavy sinks although sometimes effective don't seem to be as consistent.
