	There may be no greater freshwater thrill than to watch the king of all salmon crash flies in a foot of water, then go berserk, melting fly line off stout reels as they head toward far reaches
King salmon start arriving in late May and hold up in holes until mid August when they start to spawn, they are easily seen even into September because of their beautiful crimson red color.		Heavy shooting taper fly lines & large, weighted flies with sharp strong hooks are needed for proper presentation! We use 10 - 12 weight fly rods in order to cast the desired tackle as well as to exert enough pressure to have a prayer of turning the head of a 40+ lb. King. Reels: Large! 3.5-4.0 inch spools. & a strong, dependable drag system. Fly line/Leader: 10-12 weight compatible fly line w/ shooting taper (150 yds). Leaders are typically short for Kings, 14-18 lb. mono, 4-6 ft in length.

The excitement and thrill of playing and fighting a king salmon while you are moving up and down the shore dancing in and out of the water and trying to turn them during their long runs, cannot be matched by fishing out of a boat in a large river its like the difference between night and day.
