Oh man ded we grill some fine sockeye filets! Skin side down and when the veins of fat turn white and start to expand they’re done - not a second longer.

We used hot pink chenille egg flies and double egg flies with a little white marabou between the eggs. These were known as sperm & egg flies. We caught several rainbows this way and the purple egg-sucking leech with the pink egg at the nose caught some trout but just as many big arctic grayling.

You should go before you can’t.
