Both are great fighters and will take a fly. They are not however "freezer fish".Today is day seven of yet another heat wave here. Temps of 100 are expected with a heat index of 110 degrees and more.One more day of heat before it breaks. Enjoy your cool gray mist and pray that CT has enough power for our AC's.Good luck on the Sockeye. By the way its interesting how they got their name. Turns out that they are stupid fish, so dumb that they often bump their heads on rocks as they swim upstream thus giving the appearance of having been punched in the eye. Therefore with both limited intelligence and poor eyesight they make the ideal fish for the Sundells. Frank.
