I hated doing Kings on fly's.

I was fishing the Nushagak when you could be bangin' 20 Kings a day tossing hardware at them with two guys in a boat, if I got a guy that insisted on Fly fishing, I'd be down to a 1 King a day average. The only way I even maintained that was to tie a monster egg pattern and saturate it in roe juice...it wasn't any fun.....

I'd toss all the spinning gear in the world overboard to catch Silvers, Rainbows and Graythings on the fly though, just not Kings.

The Bristol Bay King run is holding up better than the S.E. in recent years.
