Chilliwack River, October 23rd and 24th 2016
« on: October 24, 2016, 10:05:48 AM »

Very breezy in the past couple of mornings! Even though air temperature is still pretty high, the wind has kept us bundled up. Pretty good fishing between 7:00am and 8:30am still. We've been fishing the lower river. Yesterday saw lots of fresh and very bright fish moving in, so had quite a few hook-ups but majority of the fish (ie. 90%) were all wild. This morning was a bit slower and all of the fish were wild. Most of the fish were around 3 or 4lb, some were up to 8. Here's one of the smaller fish we caught. Casting spoons and spinners was the ticket, but others were doing very well with jigs.

Is it me...or is that caudal fin looking big for that size of fish? Thanks for the report.

I think because the fish was bent a bit, so the tail was pointing a bit forward at the camera.

It's similar to long arm syndrome. Perspective is everything when it comes to how large a fish looks.
