I will take a nice bright one from the salt, bleed and gut before it hits the cooler and fill the body cavity with ice, take it home and throw on the bbq, but have yet to catch one in the river I would take home. Fish the snohomish with a pink spoon from the bank or a little pink thin blade spoon (triple teezer, dick nite, etc..) from a boat. Should hit the lower snohomish in late Aug. on a normal year.
