Not fly fishing but I was fishing the Kitimat for springs a few yrs back. I hooked into a decent fish probly 25-30 lbs. I was playing him for a few mins when all of a sudden he took off upstream like crazy fast, headed right for a log jam. But mere feet away from the jam he stopped like he had brakes. Then peeled out line towards the middle of the river and just like before, he stopped instantly just feet before hitting a log. Then he turned and came back. It was all I could do to pick up my line. Then when he got infront of me a seal popped up with my fish in his mouth. I managed to get the fish from the seal and beach it but before I could get to it, it flopped back in the river, and got snagged right away on a stump I already lost 20-30 dollars worth of gear on.
