Rainbows, Cohos and a Big King

[Anglersthree]

Hi everyone,

The following is a video sampling of the fish we caught during week one of the Great Ontario Salmon Derby including one Chinook just over 25 pounds.

We have also been experimenting with a cannonball camera setup to add to the angles we already have and have included a few rough sequences in this video. The next video to be posted will be just a compilation of the best from those cameras - some cool footage and it's interesting watching the salmon and trout behaviours just prior to the strike.

For those interested, most of our fish during the week came from the balls set at 80, 90 and 100 feet in 100 to 315 FOW and the wire dipseys on the 3 setting back 250'. Predominantly a flasher/fly bite with greens being the most productive and a number taken on spoons, also glow green with dark spots.

Hope you enjoy,

Why are you netting fish that you are going to release?

I think your video is of the highest quality, lots of camera angles, very enjoyable to watch, but I agree with Kelly, why are you putting these fish in the net if you are releasing them? Why not release them in the water with a leader pull and a gaff or pliers to pop the hook out. Sure it makes great photos, but contrary to what you might think, the net and even human hands remove scales and slime the fish need to thrive. This is a practice that is quite common on the Great Lakes, but is something many on the West Coast are avoiding nowadays.
