I did notice you were not answering any questions. Way to go with the fishing - a great way to spend the day. Catching fish is a bonus. You look; well almost...clean cut :o trimed bread, man O man, what is this world coming to?

How do you think it will be with all the rain??

I went up every season for about 7-8 years... Then one year the fish didn't show. At least we didn't catch any....  I haven't been for about ten years now. I would LOVE to see my wife playing a black, 30# king, fresh from ontario. My best is a 38# male from the town pool. MAN that was a fight!!!

Yep, I noticed your absence on here today. I thought maybe you were out in the big pond chasing after tuna.
Good job on the Steelhead and Salmon! Fresh smoked salmon, YUMMM.  ;D

No on the fishfry, just coincidental timing, Jack and I've been planning a trip all month, just waiting for his back to get better and for a day off work following a cool night so the river runs somewhat clear, the river runs off Mount Adams glaciers, when it's hot and the nights in Klickitat are over 55º, it stays the color of dirty milk, Sunday night's predicted low was 44º, so everything was just right!  ;)

My best King was 51½lbs in 1987, Garabaldi, Oregun off the Jaws of Tillamook bay!  ;D

Thanks,

Tim

  CW, Might kick em a little early which would be good, I kind of split the time after turkey opens on Oct 1. Best I have done was a 35
lb King and thata a ways back. Seem to be running smaller last couple years, I have more fun chasing the big Browns and then steelies
later.

Wild as opposed to hatchery raised, they clip the adipose fin off the young fish before they're released to mark them as hatchery reared.   Wild fish are protected from harvest to encourage and increase natural spawning stocks. They're also much tougher and hard fighters by most angler opinions, this one included, they're usually bigger for length too, the wild steely I released today was about the same length as the 2nd one I caught, but probably weight a good 2-3lbs more, bigger in girth or "having shoulders" as we'd say.  ;D

Great trip and catch.  I can smell the smoker from here ::)  Wish I could taste what I think I smell.  

There is nothing like a good fishin" trip to soothe the mind.  I went on a float trip with my brother in July on the James River in Virginia.  Chunked them all back :)

What the heck other kinda fish are there than WILD? I've never seen a tame one even those in my pond are wild. I don't know of anything ya gotta release here in Bama unless you are over the limit on the species with limits.

Nice fish Tim! figgered you for a fly fisherman though.

Interesting about the "wild" fish! Are there more wild than hatchery?

Well, since I'm up at this late hour, and Tim must be played out, I'll throw out some info about Salmon and Steelhead here in Washington.
The wild ( native ) runs of fish are seriously depleted, due to many reason. In some rivers/streams/tributary's the numbers are shockingly low.
So the Wildlife/Fisheries Department, along with with Indian Tribes, release many thousands of hatchery reared fish. Those are marked by the removal of the Adipose fin ( tiny fin on back, ahead of tail ). Now there is a job that must rate only second to "Chicken de-beaker".
Soooooo, wild  ( native ) fish are returned to the water, and hatchery fish can be kept.
Any yes, it is obvious to any Fisheries officer what an old removed fin stub looks like, compared to a just-caught wild fish that some clever person hacked off its fin in an attempt to keep it.

With us needing rain really bad down here in the south, our fish have a bad tick problem!
