Water was beautiful today. My prayers were answered with the rain, but not with the fish. I thought the rain would bring fresh fish into the upper river - I was wrong. Released a few dirty springs and all I saw hooked were dirty springs and pinks. No coho to be seen. I was briefly fooled into thinking I had a monster coho on, but it only proved to be a spring with a pink blush - I assume it was a red spring but it wasn't very clean so it went back. I wonder if it was a stray from another system - the spotting was relatively sparse and it also had some green hues along with the pink. I have seen a few chinook in the Vedder with this coloration in years past, but I think this is the first one I have landed. I was too preoccupied with wrestling my hook out of her tongue to remember to get a picture.
I fished both roe and wool ties - orange/pink seemed to be best.
