Fish of the Week: Wisconsin stream salmon

SHARE Fish of the Week: Wisconsin stream salmon

Mike Kolec caught a nice salmon last week and had a hook for FOTW honors.

The young man from Edison Park on Chicago’s Northwest Side emailed, “Here’s a pic of an 18 lb Salmon I caught on the Kewaunee River in WI last week with a salmon roe. Put me in coach!!!”

“Put me in coach” got him FOTW. It made me smile and I need smiles.

Email nominations for FOTW, the weekly celebration of big fish stories from around Chicago fishing in the Sun-Times outdoors page on Wednesdays, to straycasts@sbcglobal.net.
