Milo,
Your jacket appears to be all wet. Where did you find rain this morning? It's been sunny and warm.
No wonder there weren't any people around.  Must be during the last rain storm down by the canal, probably fishing for pinks.

LOL! I was waiting for that one.  ;D ;D ;D
It was caught Sunday, September 20, in perfect fishing conditions, while nymphing for pinks and coho. Lots of people in the popular spots in spite of the rain.
I never said I caught it today. I only stated that I caught it away from the crowds.
You are just jealous, just like big snag above. ! :P  ;)

Jealous- maybe a little bit. That's a nice bright prize on a fly rod. Well done. Nice picture as well with the fish left in the water - it's a good humble hero pose for a great memory. I like that.

And you, sir, are...?
Actually, don't bother. Don't really care for another anonymous Internet persona without a sense of humour. If you recognize  me, approach me on the river in a friendly manner and we can talk about my former snagging days and poke fun all you want.  :D
Alternatively, fish quietly and respect my space, just like I will respect yours.

Thank you Rieber. Let's give credit where credit is due. Our fellow FWR member ribolovac (who took the pic) suggested the pose and the angle. It is much better than the traditional hero pose. I hardly take pictures of my catches anymore. But this one was rare and memorable and I am glad ribolovac was there with his iPhone to capture the moment. :)

Well done on a light spinning setup! :)

Every year he photoshops it a bit larger. The first year he posted it, it was a jack spring.

Last year, the hatchery had reportedly 1000+ coho by Sept 28th.  Today, Oct 1, the hatchery looks nothing like that.  There might have been 40-50 salmons total (pinks, coho, chinooks) that I could see, unless they are holding them somewhere that I didn't see.  Hope things improve.

Water is clear and low today. Around an hour of good bite this morning. On the lower river I managed to catch (and release) my first coho (wild) and a few minutes later my first Chinook, around 6lb! Very exciting.



Very busy today compared to Tuesday, looks like many people took Friday off...

Nice coho. Where's the Chinook?
