Fly casting instructor and angling guide Keith McDonnell spent Wednesday on the Boyne guiding Rob Kurz from Philadelphia. The trout fishing was very poor but Rob got a nice surprise when he hooked a big salmon on a trout rod while prospecting the head of a fast run. Rob is a very experienced angler with many large Sailfish and other blue water species on fly tackle to his credit so he capably managed the salmon on his light trout gear.

Rob still had quite a fight from the well rested Salmon but managed to get the fish quickly to the bank where they took some quick pictures.

The fish was of course released and swam away none the worse for its battle. Congratulations to Rob for his first Atlantic Salmon.
