Well, I never

caught a salmon before.

Pink salmon were accidentally introduced into Lake Superior
in 1956. In their native habitat pink salmon return to the
stream of their birth after two years in the sea so at first
they were an odd-year only nuisance in Lake Superior streams.
They have since become an annual nuisance. Biologists think
the relatively sterile Lake Superior delayed the onset of
maturity in some fish causing a three year class instead of
a two year class so now the damn things show up in even years
too.

The streams become so full of these pests it's damn near
impossible to catch the real fish. They don't really take a
fly, I don't know what prompted that one in the photo to
smack my caddis. It like to have tore up my poor little 3wt.
