Happy New Year of the Salmon


2019 is International Year of the Salmon.   Really . http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/species-especes/iys-ays/index-eng.html 

2019 is also 100 years since the 1919 patent for the Superior spoon .  Think of how much the world has changed in 100 years ! 

 Fishing tackle certainly has changed , and yet these are still solid fish catchers .  They have a rhythmic side to side swim and substantial body , wobblers , in contrast to the light flutter spoons that are popular now-a-days for towing behind flashers . ( Did I mention I dislike flashers ? )  A lot has been learned about what fish will bite, but the fish don't follow the fashions entirely.
