Besides, chucking lead gets old after awhile and hooking/lining massive numbers of Kings can get old and boring. So ....to add high degree of challenge, try this technique. You might only get one or two fish a day...BUT! THE THRILL...! of watching an aggressive male make chase after chase is very similar to Atlantic salmon. You can use fish skull heads/comet/boss eyes and a heavy spey hook to get your imitations down traditionally.
If your river like the Muskegon has excellent trout populations , try a rainbow or brown streamer/spey/leech/intruder style fly to "piss' these boys off. It is almost impossible to line or snag fish with this method....have fun!
