I took a half day off and ran over to Idaho with my son, Dawson. (You may remember his video lesson on double-hauling a couple of years ago.) He caught a pile of cutties, and I pinned this blackmouth while swinging a chartreuse streamer with the 6-weight H2 Switch and Mirage reel.
John Herzer and and his wife,Terri Raugland, own and operate Blackfoot River Outfitters in Missoula, Montana.

John swung a streamer to catch this immature king salmon, also known as a “blackmouth.”
