We popped down to the lower river for a couple of hours this afternoon and pulled in a chinook jack. Well, Nina did, and I hopped in the photo...

Lots of chunky footballs this year.

Nina seems to out fish you a fair bit when she does hit the river.  ;)

Great vid Rod! I enjoyed watching that. Those pinks sure do have soft mouths. I find a 50/50 landing ratio is quite respectable with these fish. Also, thanks for the cooking tip! Looks delish!

So how's the water looking?  Is the canal flooded bank to bank yet?

I'd guess it will color up before it goes bank to bank.

Was good there yesterday! In about 5 hours I must have fair hooked over 20 pinks and landed well over a dozen. More fish were silvery. most of the gear guys fishing with roe took a spring or a jack. Pretty crowded though.

The river held up quite nicely for most of the day.Those who braved the elements in the early hours today were handsomely rewarded. It became quite miserable after 12:00 pm. No jacket, not even a Simms Guide model can take such punishment for more than a couple of hours.

Disclaimer: I did not fish today. I'm quoting a very dear and reliable friend of mine who did.

Water was good, when I left at 3 ish, the rivers so low that it can handle lots of rain, but the water clarity is not going to be good tomorrow.
