8-22 SS King Fish
If he is not called the King fisherman of the Wenatchee River he should be. Peter Flohr works in the fishing department of a toy store… Actually what is probably Central Washington’s largest outdoor store: Hooked on Toys in Wenatchee. But this guy knows as much about his craft as anybody in the world. Listen to a recent conversation: “if I understand things correctly, this is the 1st year that the Wenatchee River has been open in decades for 7. That is correct. Guy calls me this morning to find out what the code on the river was cause he has managed to catch a 25 pound king on a jig and bobber right above the Dryden dam which is at the top of what is open, it’s open from the Dryden dam down to the mouth. 3 nights ago a buddy of mine and I were in a drift boat, came down and picked one up on a spoon, then we went out fishing this morning on the Columbia and picked up a nice 16 pounder for an 80-year-old guy who my partner Don knows and then this afternoon my kids and I will be up on the Wenatchee River swinging spoons. It is 24/7, it is what I do. Do you know any interesting techniques that folks are using to catch salmon and steelhead? The Sunday night before the Monday opener for the Wenatchee River, Don and I came up with a big , 4 inch, crazy spoon, it’s actually a pair of trout dodgers that we cut the hardware off of and we put back together with split rings and hung a 4.0 hook off the back and his 3rd cast opening day on the Wenatchee River, he picked up a nice little King on it. I could tie you a dozen different ways to run a super bait.
