Land Locked Salmon

[gypsy]

They are Landlocked, Lard the first one I hooked came out of the water about 4' proceeded to jump 4 more times, they do fight. I hooked a large female, watched her take the fly, set the hook all I could do was hang on, took me about 50 yards straight out in seconds, couldn't turn her, she got away. Was using a 5.5 fluorocarbon leader. I do put in the time, fish all day, they come in to spawn, have been told they won't reproduce, you see many won't hit anything then all the sudden they turn on. And they will hit bait, NO snagging, best fighting fish I ever caught. Andy I was standing on the sidewalk, fishing the main lake. Wednesday just before dark my wife was fishing and they were jumping out of the water all over, she couldn't believe it, my son had a nice one but the net man (me) missed and it shot under a dock, that was that
