Was fishing for trout with a black wooly bugger caught this guy instead. Crazy how far this fish traveled to get to this creek. It took me nearly 5 minutes to land on my 6 weight. My buddy caught a cutthroat and I missed another fish around 14-16 inches. Also my first December salmon ever. There was a good amount of snow too the forest looks different covered in snow beautiful, but cold .
With a 6 weight rod and only 5 minutes to bring it in? Either that fish was already pooped out and ready to spawn...or you've got the skills of a Jedi!

Me and my friend were talking about how much longer it would have fought fresh from the salt. It’s crazy how strong salmon are. I think it was spawned out too it’s stomach looked saggy.
