Salmonbelly,

Bob might not have been here 30 years ago but my dad was. I can tell you from his expierience through the 60's and 70's of living on the peninsula and fishing 200+ days a year on the coastal rivers that he yousto catch more wild fish in Nov/Dec then then I catch wild fish Feb,March,April now. And he used the old crappy gear of that era compared to the stuff I use now.

He remembers multiple 30 fish days during the week of Christmas and yes theese were all wild fish and not Chambers Brats.

So it seems you are mis-informed.
