NW trib

[phishtix]

Fished a large popular north west trib the other day. Fished all day and caught 2 Chinooks using skien. Had another one on but couldn't get him in to my net. He was too big. I think if I would have had some help I could have gotten him in there but being by myself and in a boat it was tough. I gave up on the net and tried to grab him by hand and that's when he got off. I'm guessing he was probably a 20lber or more. The others were 10 and 15 lbs. Both males.

Time to change gears I think now. Salmon are mostly on the gravel and the ones in the holes are mostly stale fish that don't want to bite. Time to start looking for steelhead.

It sure is tough to net a 20lbr in a river by yourself.   I struggle doing that with a 8lb steelie sometimes.
