shortly after arriving this morning this chrome, wish i had known about the fixed typo in the in season updates as its back to two fish over 35 cm lol Damn...
anyway I then had a look around while waiting for the incoming tide after lunch, I found alot of gear...

That was, me thanks very much for the post. My 83 year old dad gets grumpy when theres no action. I didn't go last year. Sounds like I didn't miss much. The previous two years were unbelievable. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Great report and nice fish :) Just want to make sure I'm not getting anything wrong here but, you are allowed to retain 2 chum, 4 hatchery coho, only two over 35cm on the Stave. Correct me if I'm wrong please because I'm a bit confused.
