wanted to get out and fish on my birthday and thats just what I did. Conditions were not ideal but went for it anyway. Fought the snow, and high colored up water and scratched out a birthday salmon. Let it go after a quick pic unharmed. I have been using kodiak spinners the last few times fishing and i love them! If it is in their face, they will bite it. Heard of one other fish caught and released. Not sure if there is any chrome in there. Plenty of dark ones though.
