Back to the original question re: setups. The current is the big factor here IMO. I fish for pinks in very light currents, so I use some light gear- trout rods, 6-8 lb. test, but usually a 5-6 wt fly rod. I have, however, been the victim of am occasional big-backed male planing itself away from me in heavier main stem middle Fraser currents with a full drift rod. I don't like breaking off a fish if I can help it, so time and energy is spent in the arduous task of bringing in a wiggly piece of board for release.

In short match your setup to both the fish AND the waters.

Rod.. how many months to go?
