Well last weekend was quite insane, a massive run of Chinook Salmon (Kings) ran into the river Saturday morning and due to the water being double flow, they blew into the river system quite quickly......... I hooked up over 120 fish in 15 hours of straight fishing. Paid for it all week, as my feet and hands were destroyed from being wet for so golly gee willikers long...... Biggest was a female weighin at around 31lbs. Went back to the estuary Sunday night and had a nice female coho sittin in front of me jumpin, but she wouldn't hit the fly hard. Landed 13 fish and lost a lot of hooks. hard when their initial run is over 100 yards and you can't run too fast in high fast moving water..... some pics... I am goin 2moro for a few hours for the early morning run, it rained there 2 day and was a cool overcast day so fish will have moved in tonite..Tank<img src=\"http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/RDBAIT/fish003-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />The rest are pics of fish from previous years, my Male Coho which I was quite lucky in landing 19lbs (BIG)<img src=\"http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/RDBAIT/100_1541.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/RDBAIT/33lbs-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />A big a$$ fresh female that took me for a long walk as she was caught during the drought that year.
