Zambi, may I suggest that you not post locations here (at least small streams) when you find them. YOu may be surprised at what can happen. Searuns are scarce, and it's best when they're not heavily fished. I used to talk to folks about where I fished, and then I found that I was racing people downriver to the holes. I was also seeing people put 16 inch fish on stringers, never to spawn or to be caught again.

If you let them go, you can catch them again and again and again until New Years. Maybe even later, New Years is the latest in the season that I have gotten them. If others find them, inevitably one of those people will want to keep them, and there goes your fishing. These runs are small in number compared to salmon or even steelhead. Discretion is advised.

Good luck, sounds like you had some fun. Again, I hope you will release these beautiful critters.
