Swing and float
Looked like it was just pooched?fully intact . I slit it to see of it was mature for curiosity's sake and was full of milt!
I'll take a pic tomo if it hasn't lost its colour.

Just so Blair can see that there are Atlantics over 2lbs? The credits run of Atlantics is currently in the hundreds and quite a few are spawning adults. Meaning over 2lbs
That's why I didn't take a pic. Didn't seem like a big deal.Just so Blair can see that there are Atlantics over 2lbs? The credits run of Atlantics is currently in the hundreds and quite a few are spawning adults. Meaning over 2lbs
Affirmative!Just to clarify,
Chinooks DO hit in the rivers, VORACIOUSLY.
Next time you are out on a trib with a pool full of fish try a spinner. I have stood and the top of a pool and just held the spinner in the current. You'll be surprised how many curious chinnies will come take a look, and lots of the time you can watch them take your spinner. Holding it in the current instead of retrieving it stops you from running the spinner across the fish's backs.Spinners with treble hooks or single hooks? I hope single hooks... I'm having a hard time imaging this working and getting fish in the mouth... I'd just expect the trebles to catch in fins and wherever else they brush up against the salmon. This would happen before the salmon would get angry enough to chase the spinner... that's what I'd expect to happen at least.
I've never heard of people fishing salmon with spinners before. If I'd have seen it I would have thought it as snagging. I really have a lot to learn...
News to me..never herd they try to eat before always thought it was out of aggression and protection. Cool t.yChinook and Coho do try to eat, but they lose their ability to swallow once they are on their spawning run.

I always thought the same as well, hence the use of bright annoying flies & yarn etc.
Ya me too but I was noticing the other day after you guys left that my float was doing strange things when I switched to floating roe. You could tell they were sitting there chomping on it for a few seconds before the float actually went down and then the hook ended up being right on the tongue two times in a row. It was enough evidence for me! Unfortunately you have to be there at the perfect time to get them in a feeding mood like that. I went back three days later and the pools still had plenty of fish in them but 0 takers.

On a different note the native topic really gets me going. Sure they were commercial fishing for salmon with their nets on their own land but the fact that they get the commercial fishing licenses at no charge just pisses me off! I thought the new movement was for equality between all races and genders….so why is a certain race being given special treatment????? Sure they were here before the European settlers but were the Europeans not here before those that came from the African, Asian and South American continents? I am of European descent so by the current logic that is being used with native fishing and hunting rights I should be allowed to keep more fish than those of African or Asian descent. Not to mention all the other issues of free education, no taxes etc. etc.
We are all equal and we all have equal opportunities, its what we choose to do with them that separates us from the rest. I say no more preferential treatment for certain races, its time for an equal playing field.
By the way I’m not prejudice against natives in any way. I have a native buddy and bug him all the time for the tuition situation. Good on him for taking that opportunity and making the most of it, but it’s just not fair! lol
