Fishermen fool fish, fish fool fishermen and fish fool fish. Salmon and steelhead fishing is all about deception.
Fishermen dupe fish into biting a glob of roe harboring a hidden hook.
Fly guys deceive by presenting fish a seemingly untethered fly. Elusive steelhead can fool a fisherwoman into wasting hours casting in the rain and cold. And fish fool fish for sex. Yep, for sex. It has always seemed unjust to me that wanderlust salmon after years of ocean travel give up the wander and give into the lust only to die.
