Salmon (Chinook)
Trip Summary
Trip Summary
I have been out a few times this week and it has been a blast. lots of fish, lots of action and the sun finally came out after the last rounds of storms. biggest salmon landed this week was 15 or so #s and there have been abunch of other screamers that won the fight, the way she goes sometimes. brought this beautiful hatchery chinook home for dinner, maybe 8 or so #s. I try and advocate for the release of wild fish and take the fish that are made to be harvested.
Lots of action at the usual spots, great bear and alley rock. lots of fish at sail rock as well. huge herring and squid both showed back up this week and the needle fish recently hatched too. lots of bait for all of these fish.
I heard reports that 4 and 5 year old fish will be the majority this year and I would have to say that is true due to the size of some of these fish already. can't wait for Hog-ust but the way it is going, i am sure someone will pull a tyee in long before that.
