So with the impending sockeye run and a hopeful opening, I am wondering if swinging a blob on a spey would be a nice non flossing productive way to catch some sockeye for the freezer.
Of course it means I need to tie some blobs. Just wondering if I can do this somewhat fly like and trigger a strike. I do not overly care about the deep hooking aspect if it is a sockeye because it would be coming home, unless I get some bycatch...

best fly for me swinging for sockeye has been a white/chartreuse clouser. I tie them on small size 4 hook and no longer than 3" in length, they also work great on pinks ;)
