Got going late as I had a number of things to take care of this morning. One was paying final payment of the mortgage. Now I have a lot of extra cash for fishing supplies, unfortunately I am married so may not work out as well as I hope.
Anyway arrived at the K/W bridge about 10:00 am. Fished till about 12:30. There was about 10 to 12 fishers out some fly some gear. I think just about everyone hooked into a fish but not all landed. There were fish all over the river but hard to get to bite. I threw everything I had at them, two different rows, beads, wool, pink spinners and pink blades but only one on.
But it was a great day and the weather was wonderful, you can't beat fishing on a day like this.

I hope not too many Cultus Sockeyes got man handled or mistaken for pinks. In a frenzy everything gets bonked before they realize that the fish is not what it was thought to have been.

Nonsense! Who does that?!? ::)
The other night, these two guys who landed a nice fish had the decency to come over and ask me if I knew how to identify it since they didn't want to kill something they weren't supposed to. Turned out to be a nice Jack Spring. Although i didn't like the fact that they brought it over to me while in the net hanging, completely out of the water for a minute or so, had it been a sockeye or coho.
-
The few I saw landed had large hums on their backs so one must assume they were pink males.
-
The sockeye are also clipped so the only mistake that can be made is hatchery coho if you know what your doing. Never actually caught a cultus lake sockeye or seen one in my years fishing there so they are rare

you have about an hour or so morning and evening for the bite, then the "wool fishermen" are the only ones hooking (and rarely landing) the fish.

u gotta move and find fresh untouched fish, once those first 3 or 4 get wacked they smarten up really fast and it dies off. finding water that hasn't been covered is the key to lots of fish right now, this requires people to actually WALK! :o
