I’ve whipped up a box of obnoxiously bright jig flies for some Vancouver Island pink salmon fishing at the end of July.
The other year one of my friends brought his euronymphing setup to a pink run and it was incredibly fun with faster action than normal swung flies as the nymphs were back in their faces so much faster.
I’ve purchased a dirt cheap nymphing rod off AliExpress so I don’t care if it breaks. I might buy a better setup at a later date.
I wouldn’t recommend using this style of fishing for any salmon larger than pinks. Pinks where I live generally max out around 4 lbs and it would be difficult to unethical to fish for a larger salmon than that.
