Salmon University ask the pros

Ask the Pros

Here is your chance to ask the pros the questions you've always wanted to ask. Due to the volume of questions, they can't answer all your questions directly, but monthly they will post answers to selected questions here on our site. Due to the number of emails we receive we must limit it to one question per person per month. Also due to the volume of emails, Tom does not have time to answer any "fishing report" style questions, if you would like a fishing report, please refer to our fishing reports page. If you have further "fishing report" questions, please phone the contacts listed on the fishing reports page.

Before you ask a question, please realize that Tom receives over 100 e-mailed questions a week so give him sufficient time to respond. Please also check below to make sure your question hasn't already been answered as he will not answer previous asked and answered questions.
