As a matter of fact. I'm going to plunk sin and glows in the mighty Columbia River for salmon.
I'm gonnna take my medium action 81/2 ft Lamaglass rod with Garcia reel, Which I have loaded with 14lb Stren floro. Add a 1 oz. weight. Toss it out and waite. Let that spin and glow, well, spin and glow. Where I'll be fishing a flyrod isn't really practicle. I promise I'll suffer through it. Until I hook a fish anyway. Frank (toober) "Jimmy D.
