nice fish AKnook, I read that it's not a very sought after fish, are they not very tasty? or don't they put up a very good fight?
If dime bright they are good table fare. Not as good as sockeye, silvers or kings but good. Once they get the calico spawning colors then they aren't good to eat. They aren't sought after by many once in the rivers but I always target them for a fun day of catch and release. They are very aggressive and even take top water flies. They fight well and look beautiful. Top water fly fishing for them is extremely fun. I target them every year.
