Title: The Lynn Creek Giant Squid
Post by: Novabonker on August 05, 2009, 06:54:55 PM

I thought I would share this rare picture of myself with a Lynn Creek Giant Squid on the rod. I know this one was undersized, but I resuscitated him gently and he zoomed right out into the main stem, a little wiser and having lost the appetite for red wrigglers. A wedding band , a small Dick Nite or a Jensen Egg will produce as well. The run seems a little late this year according to my diary, but the first schools are starting to show, and with a little rain, POW!  The trick is knowing the runs to fish...

I take my dog down to Lynn Creek to frolic in the water.  Hope one of those monsters don't get him.

The real deal beside a 8 lbs coho and a little halibut.

I'd put the salmon in the squid and deep fry them in those turkey friers.

I've had good luck using a Saint Bernard, but you have to use a light leader.
