    Hey guys –

    I was debating with a buddy the other day whether sockeye salmon actually eat flies or not.

    I’ve had 5-6 of them move and take my fly while fishing for other species in AK..But thats the exception, not the rule…

    Sockeye are a good meat fish, but not much fun to fly fish for, IMO…Catch a well colored male for your grip & grin then get back to fishing for rainbows, silvers, or dollies.
