King salmon are migratory and follow certain patterns based on the season. They prefer colder water temperatures, making early spring and late fall prime time for catching the King. Consider factors such as water depth, flow, and temperature when choosing your fishing spot.

The Perfect Bait

Once you've found your fishing spot, it's time to select the perfect bait to attract the King. King salmon are known to be aggressive and are attracted to flashy and vibrant lures, such as spoons or spinners. Experiment with different bait options and observe the local baitfish to mimic their appearance and movement.

Don't forget to apply scent attractants to your lures to further entice the King. Strong, fishy scents like salmon eggs or herring oil are highly effective in attracting these powerful fish.

Patience and Technique

When it comes to catching the King, patience is key. This impressive fish is known for its powerful fights, requiring you to have excellent fishing technique. Prepare yourself for long hours of waiting and be ready for sudden bursts of action.

One effective technique when fishing for King salmon is trolling, where you slowly drag your baited hooks behind a moving boat. This allows you to cover a larger area and increases your chances of encountering the King. Casting and retrieving can also be successful, especially when targeting King salmon near river mouths or rocky shorelines.

Hook, Line, and Landing

Once you feel a bite and the King salmon is hooked, it's crucial to maintain tension on the line to prevent it from spitting the hook. Keep a firm grip on your rod and reel, using your body's momentum to fight against the fish's resistance. Be prepared for strong runs and sudden changes in direction.

When it comes to landing your King salmon, remember to always use a landing net to avoid losing your catch. This minimizes stress on the fish and provides a safer environment for both you and the salmon.

Celebrate Your Success

Congratulations! You've successfully caught the elusive King salmon - a true achievement for any fishing enthusiast. Now, it's time to celebrate your hard-earned victory and prepare for a delicious meal. You can choose to either release the salmon back into the water or enjoy its delectable taste.

Remember to adhere to local fishing regulations and practice responsible fishing to ensure the conservation of fish populations and protect their habitats for future generations of anglers.

To Catch King is a true testament to your fishing skills and determination as an angler. With the right gear, knowledge of fishing locations, and mastering effective techniques, you can make your dream of catching the King salmon a reality. Remember, fishing is not just about catching fish; it's about creating lifelong memories and appreciating the beauty of nature. Happy fishing!

How did the most wanted man in the country outwit the greatest manhunt in British history?

In January 1649, King Charles I was beheaded in London outside his palace of Whitehall and Britain became a republic. When his eldest son, Charles, returned in 1651 to fight for his throne, he was crushed by the might of Cromwell’s armies at the battle of Worcester.

With 3,000 of his supporters lying dead and 10,000 taken prisoner, it seemed as if his dreams of power had been dashed. Surely it was a foregone that he would now be caught and follow his father to the block? At six foot two inches tall, the prince towered over his contemporaries and with dark skin inherited from his French-Italian mother, he stood out in a crowd. How would he fare on the run with Cromwell’s soldiers on his tail and a vast price on his head?

The next six weeks would form the most memorable and dramatic of Charles’ life. Pursued relentlessly, Charles ran using disguise, deception and relying on grit, fortitude and good luck. He suffered grievously through weeks when his cause seemed hopeless. He hid in an oak tree – an event so fabled that over 400 English pubs are named Royal Oak in commemoration. Less well-known events include his witnessing a village in wild celebrations at the erroneous news of his killing; the ordeal of a medical student wrongly imprisoned because of his similarity in looks; he disguised himself as a servant and as one half of an eloping couple. Once restored to the throne as Charles II, he told the tale of his escapades to Samuel Pepys, who transcribed it all.

In this gripping, action-packed, true adventure story, based on extensive archive material, Charles Spencer, bestselling author of Killers of the King, uses Pepys’s account and many others to retell this epic adventure.
