Summer came to a slow start for me just like for most others. My time on the water locally has been split from ascoting to hardware thumping, it also seems to be the older I get I fish solo with the dog more often as well. Fishing the local crik just gets busier and busier with less opportunity trickling in. Toff, Ryley, and I made it out shortly after the OFFICIAL Puget Sound River opener was announced.
 
Managed to ascot this one shortly after the the opener. Surprisingly had the run undisturbed most of the morning.
 
There's not too much that beats fresh fish harvested from you favorite fishery.
