This is a photo of a red salmon I caught during the 2012 season. It was caught using casting tackle. The rod was an 8-foot long Lake Fork Outfitters medium heavy casting rod. I was using a three way rig and a Russian River fly.

There were thousands of these tomato looking things in the river that day. I was fishing in the confluence of the Russian and Kenai Rivers. There is a ferry that will take you across the river for a fee. If you can get to this area for the second half of July or the first part of August, it would really be worth your while.
