And I thought you had given up fishing, after the truck crossing incident ;D ;D ;D sorry.

Good work, glad you are making time to fish.
It's tough. 

We're heading off for a 3 week vacation on Wed - Mrs D wasn't too pleased with my desire to go fish on Sunday.

Nice fish man!  A buddy of mine is fishing the upper river as we speak (I don't think he'll catch anything except for a good buzz) ;), but he just texted me to say that when he stopped in at Fred's on his way to the river, they told him that somebody weighed in a 70lb spring yesterday! and that it might even be a river record.  Anyone else hear of this?

There's a "70" lb spring caught every year on the Vedder isn't there? Lol ;D

Hah! 

When I came home, I made the mistake of resting my wading boots inside to dry out... Putrid odour of rotting fish!!  Apparently not all of me was clean ;)

Regardless of whether or not the story is true, it would sincerely piss me off if someone took a fish of that size home. That is a valuable genetic brood and to bonk it [to only put in your freezer, no one can eat that much fish] is a waste IMO

It seems like every thing pisses you off. Of your 300+ posts I'd be surprised if even one had some sort of positive tone to it. Lighten up and quit being a downer.

I think someone hasn't heard the fall chinook in the Chilliwack are not native and without hatchery support would likely disappear after a few generations. No need to worry about genetic quality of the brood stock
