Underwater Salmon Bite…or Not?

September 16, 2014 By JD 2 Comments

Here’s a a really interesting sequence of underwater photos I took of a small king attacking a glob of roe…and then passing on it. Sorry for the fuzziness of these shots, but this fish  was moving so quickly I couldn’t get him into focus!

He's a nice cluster of red eggs and a chartreuse Corkie drifting along...

At this point, a hookup looks like a strong possibility…or does he really see which way the hook is facing and attacks from the opposite side?

Check out that cloud of sweet milky goodness…how the heck could he resist? Maybe he's just circling around for another pass...

    I just know that happens moves down a lot while drifting that is why I don’t talk or look around as my line moves down the river as I don’t want to miss the invisible bite.
