well; it was a pleasure meeting charlie and his wife... and many thank yous from my whole gang to you charlie for getting up on that roof and helping out with the plywood... you are a man of your word

well, on saturday morning i managed to hook and land a lonesome straggler... saw one other fish hooked... my father i think suck about 10 or 12 on his rod between friday and today... today there were a fair amount of fish moving; i saw a bunch hooked... didnt get one myself but all of the fish moving were MOVING FAST... i dont like to fish them when they are like this... the 2 fish i saw landed today were foul hooked which is typical when fish are moving like gang busters... tuna and charlie, i think your timing is going to be good this week... well anyways, here are some photots

Can u get 1 w/o out a handicap? 

dime bright

oh yeah; and still plenty of smallies around...

AWESOME job there db.. At least from the sit at home on-line reports things were real slow until this afternoon.. I just gotta say this,, You could at least left that handicapped fish for a handicap like me.. lol.. Seriously looks/sounds like you had a fun time all the way around and thanks for sharing the pictures.. You have the title of AWESOME here being the first salmon on usa..

Hoping things work well later in the week but now getting worried too much rain too soon.... NAH !!! We should be golden, it's just a matter of getting the fish in the system. Once there are enough then everything else is easy, or not..

DB--U are my hero--150yrds w/ a 1/2 face,broke back fish? LOL---but YES I do approve of getting the young ones involved.

Im sure you know where that spot is where im holding the fish... now picture it going through the white water through the pool below and then with a lot of line out swinging in towards the bank a little above the island below

And yes; I was shocked myself; I thought it was a hoe until I got a good look at it on the bank...

Glad you had a nice time.
Make sure You get all the bellie fat off the fillets.
Canada has a different take on the amount of carcinogens than N Y, but I believe in playing it safe, especialy with the little guy,since dioxins and mirex never leave once they enter a body.
Still couldn't pay me to eat those fish,but thats just me not much of a fish eater, even wild brookies .

A fine combo of chemicals and poopy.
The longer in warm water the more poopyish in both taste and texture.

Salt, I guess people tastes vary widely .. That's what makes folks well, human..
I know folks that go crazy for the fish be it from the lake or tribs there and always ask for some.. That’s all cool if that’s what they like but rarely anymore do I bother, I just tell them I didn’t catch anything.. For it’s me that has to carry that fish to the truck and prepare it ..
My taste for salmon/trout has disappeared long ago.. Believe me, in depressed times I have eaten enough to fire up the reactor if it shuts down.. lol.. Now I don't like it be it ocean caught, lake caught or trib caught , it's just too strong for my taste anymore..

Even in those cold Mountain streams I don’t eat much trout.. Once in a while camping over the fire but to bag it & tag it, nah they all got away...lol..

Now beer battered gills, crappie or perch yummy !!!

If you like it then eat it, if you don't then leave it..
