Forgot to mention I was fishing the PM. Yeah I thought I recognized you leadbelly from the pictures i've seen of you. Thanks for taking out the hook, I was going to cut it in order to get the fish out in the water again ASAP.

Started 3:30PM at a bar above Agassiz.  Landed a spring & 2 sockeyes & left at 5:30PM.  Like earlier post, fishing was pretty steady for the time I was there. It has been 3 days since sunday commercial opening and fishing picks up.
