yesterday morning i walked down to the plum creek boat ramp on the snoqualmie. right at the bottom of the ramp were two filleted wild chinook salmon with one of the fillets still in the water. there were also four gutted and left hatchery steelhead laying around in the water. what an ugly way to start the season.(my 10lb hatchery chromer later in the day helped fix that)

what I am wondering is..... are there wild summer chinook in the snoqualmie? I thought that both the snoqualmie and sky got summer chinook but I have been told that there are no summer salmon on the snoqualmie at all. I doubt someone would go and buy them just to leave them there. The thing is that the salmon and steelhead looked like they were maybe two days dead and probably not from that morning. the ramp is also a put in and not usually a take out (unless you are in a sled)

If they got popped by the warden filleting wild kings and limiting on steelhead for two people the day before opening day...... they must have had the book thrown at them

did anyone see these fish?
can someone fill me in on the presence of a summer salmon run or not?

thanks
