[QUOTE="Merickson1, post: 460964, member: 1822"] You can definitely fish on your own. Chest waders would be the best to get away from the crowds. When the salmon hit the fresh water, their mouths open up. The tactic to snag them is called flossing, or lining, where you run a 5 or 6' leader through their mouth while they are moving upstream and pull your hook into their jaw or cheek. You don't reel or cast, just basically chuck a rod-lengthed amount of line at 12 or 1 o'clock and pull your sinker back along the rocks. You do this motion over and over until a salmon explodes out of the water. It's fun! [/QUOTE]
