Yep, sockeye (or as we call them red salmon) are notorious for their dark red and delicious flesh. Their “reds” nickname however, actually comes because they turn and deep red color with green heads when they spawn.

Haha, let me know if you make it up. Sockeye are easy. Moose and bear though, for a non-resident, as you said is ridiculously expensive.
Peterson's Dark Flake in a Sandblast Nimbus Calabash pipe.
Close to finishing this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Notorious in a 1949 medium bend Dunhill Shell with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
Haha, you can use anything you want for sockeye “bait.” It all works equally well, which is......not at all! They don’t feed after they enter fresh water.How ingenious. I'd have never thought to use C&D Flakes for bait. Learning something new every day!
Rattray's 40 Virginia in a Stanwell 86. Thanks @jeff540

Haha sockeye are not a candidate for long term cellaring
Match Dunhill 965 in a 1961 Dunhill Shell Briar #659 LB Billiard with a saddle bit.
The Lizzie blood was good. very little topping, lots of Virginia flavor, that was my first impression, my palate usually changes after I smoke a blend a few times. The Rum cake was totally different than what I was expecting, flavor wise. All the Wilke tobaccos have high quality leaf and I recommend them. Tonight I try the 151 and smoke Rum cake again, the rum flavor is hard to describe. Mr. Jiminks is the man for that . Thanks for asking
Now smoking Peter Stokkebye No. 400 Luxury Navy Flake in a smooth full bend dark brown 1977 Crown Coachman (Comoy’s second) 215 egg with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Watching the Braves-Mets game.
last smoke Orlik Golden Sliced in Savinelli Venere |
H&H Magnum Opus in a Peterson Hudson. Enjoying a richer blend during this cooler weather, because we're supposed to jump back up to nearly 100/F this Sunday.
Smoking Captain Black In a Cob. Having coffee, as I count down to the weekend.
2012 Samuel Gawith St James Flake in a Rad Davis Lovat.
While my wife and I are not that fond of fish, my older son is! We always buy Wild Alaskan Sockeye, but Costco and supermarket brands don’t have that deep shade of red.
How is the Spillsbane? It's the longest standing still-available joint that WC have in stock still and I've been apprehensive about pulling the trigger... Thoughts?
I've had sockeye red plank salted/grilled, and that was straight-up delicious fish. Really rich, with an ideal amount of natural oil in the flesh.
Mixture 79. Getting some coals going to grill some sausage and onions.
Will do. I doubt it will be anytime soon though, lol. I hear caribou hunting isn’t too expensive for non-residents. Is that true?
