10/13
managed another day off from work and went back to same spot as yesterday down below trestle. small crowd again today fish were not holding at all, lots of kings but moving up steadily. Managed to land three kings all males saw one very large steelie landed up above me but not many moving past. Today I saw something kinda disturbing to me and Im gonna vent, if you fight a fish and land it foul hooked or not and dont intend to keep it spend 2 minutes and revive it, you owe it at least that. I witnessed at least 3 instances were the hook was removed and the fish "kicked" back into the river and even heard one guy say as the fish is floating away "it will be alright in a minute". On our way out at 430 after another great day there is one small creek to cross and there is a fresh dead hen, gills still bright red so i took her eggs and got two quarts curing now in the fridge. Sunday afternoon I think ill find some float water and try the eggs out.
