I don’t know what “bids” are…we typically use a 10wt fly rod. 25-40 lb line, about 6 feet of leader with the weight/sinker above the same distance up the leader from a hook..just a single bare hook.
@@JacksonBaumgartOutdoors Not a problem took us awhile to figure that out as well we usually just burry the rod tip sideways in the water it helps a bunch. Good luck to you guys.
Also by keeping the rod horizontal with the water you can also limit the we😮guts and hook from coming back and hitting you in the eye. Sun glasses a must. A guide at our outfitter lost eye last year week before we got there. Someone had rod high and he just lowered his glasses. I’ll be there in 26 days.

You got into some really nice fish! Good job.
Thanks!!
My #1 salmon is Columbia River spring Chinook. So fatty and delicious!
if you keep the rod down towards the water you can control the fish better. Great videos.
Thanks for the tip and good point you don’t really want them to jump
