The Amundson Wind warrior performance on the salt water beaches continues just as good on the rivers of British Columbia, Vancouver Island rivers. When casting to these little power house it amazing how their strength is increased by using the river flow against you. Often they are hanging just off the edge of the river. I see often anglers casting out to the mid flow when they are missing Pink salmon right at their feet.

One day I approached the river were there were angler already covering the river. I tried to greet them but they looked at me as if I was trespassing. I picked a spot below them but started my casting fifteen feet away from the rivers shore line. As my line landed within ten feet from the shallows I held the wind warrior rod high so the line would freely drift down and instantly hooked into a pink. Now just because you hooked them near shore it not going to easy as they instantly head out to the main flow and you are into a battle these little salmon . Pound for pound they are powerful specially on light tackle.

This is when the fly reel has to have a disc break to be able to handle the short power runs. The Amundson Trend-X3 discs break is very easy to adjust during the fight putting just the right amount of pressure to slow the Pink salmon down.
