Switch rod? What’s the setup? I throw an 11’7” with a switch Chucker/intouch skagit max and a few different mow tips.
It's a Shakespeare agility mk2 9.6ft 6wt with a rio shs.
The rods take a small extension so i could fish it single or double handed.

It's been replaced by a loop multi 9.6ft 6wt

I can't upload video but I'm getting quite handy putting in single and double hauls with Spey casts :-)

Oh man nice setup! How long did it take until realized you forgot your lighter!?

For me it’s either I got my lighter wet, or forgot my boots/license/lighter/pretied leaders/coffee mug.

Spey casts are a lifesaver for a full day of shadow catching chromers. My line setup is a bit clunky and doesn’t shoot very straight, but like a bad golf swing I just aim a little farther upstream.

They can be hard to tell apart, but coho have white gums and spots only on the top of the tail.
Kings, black gums spots on top and bottom.
Kings- fin infront of tail spines are long and taper in
Coho - spines on fins are shorter than the fin is long.
So actually it could be a coho now that I'm looking back at it. Hard to say exactly..

I thought the gums were black when I zoomed in, I had the ID backwards on which one has that.
