Sturza - While I have never actually witnessed a sockeye undeniably attack a fly and truly believe that a notable percentage of fly caught fish are lined I have definitely seen a sockeye outright attack a small winged bobber with a sparse hootchie.

I was resting this setup in six inches of water near shore one day when a sockeye noticed it from about twelve feet out and like a flash swam in, grabbed it and took off out and up river just burning line from my reel.

That was one native salmon that ended up on my plate as a result of its own undoing.

I catch many sockeye plunking with shrimp. They do bite this setup unless they just happen to drift upstream into it with there mouths open by chance.
