What a FISH!!! That's the kind of fish that makes a guy tear a bicep tendon while netting.

They tried Atlantic salmon down here and they never took off like thought. Buddy went last weekend he caught one 14 lber

Complaining about catching chinook salmon in upper great plains fresh water lake that didn't exist 70 years ago. What a time to be alive!

I think they should just stop stocking king salmon and start stocking steel head and brown trout. I used to fish every year for salmon and got sick of calling a 3 fish (5 to 7 lbers) day a great day. I am surprised that more people don't complain to the G&F of the crappy Salmon fishing. Not sure why when they first put salmon in the lake we were getting 30 lb salmon and now you are lucky to find them over 10 lbs. Something definitely is not working with the salmon program. Why keep banging your head against the wall and spending all that money. Oahe and Fort Pecks salmon fishing is way better so obviously something is not working on Sak. If it is because we don't have enough cold water habitat then why continue with it. I just think they should try other cold water species.

Rainbow/steelhead have the highest temperature tolerance.
