Well the snohomish continues to be unbelievable! After multiple hook ups we got Spencer his first Salmon ever!

And then the largest silver of the season for me to date...and a hatchery clipped fish at that!

Also, please be patient with me as I am trying to return all the emails I have received...I will get to all of them, but it will take me some time.
Hope you all are having as much fun as my friends and I are!
Good Luck,
Canyon Man

WOOOOOOOOW.

WOW !!!!! nice fish !!!!

Right on Canyon!! Havent been on the Sno for a few weeks. From what ive seen from your pics and heard from buddies it may be time to get outa the steelie holes and back to tossing DN's... How do you think this Coho run is stacking up to the 01' run down there?? Have the badgering humpies cleared some by now???

Bank Walker- The humpies have really cleared out down by snohomish. I've only been hooking 2-3 in 2-3 hrs. of fishing. I think the run could be even better. The fish in there right now are mostly the early hatchery fish...10-12 lb. average, with many mid teens and higher as you can see! The later run, probably still 2 weeks out or so, is usually the bigger run and consists of a lot of 6-9lb. fish.
Good luck,
Canyon Man

Nice HAWG!

Are Silvers as red as the two in the first picture still good to eat? I've never caught a silver that red,so I don't know.

If the red cohos are bucks sometimes they still eat OK. Canyonman, you're fishing above snohomish right? I was down low today and lot's of bright fish still moving through.

Out of the 4 we kept today, 2 had some color. The one with the most color had the best meat out of all of them. Knock on wood, but I have never had a silver (chrome or with some color), in the snohomish that didn't have perfect meat. These are some of the tastiest salmon you can eat. B-Bque or smoked they are delicious!!!

mmmmmmmm red coho...

Good gawd!

You are the man.!!!!!!

Nice fish!! Been working the river for the last week or so myself. Definitely has been picking up. By next week it should be on fire! We have picked up a few nice one's, up to 15+ all still chrome bright. I really don't fish any father up than Lowell though.

You have been in the zone!!

Canyon Man, you rule!

You've unlocked the secret I'd say! Great Job! Awesome fish!

Nice fish C man!! Its gonna be a zoo Sat.

So. You plan of eating that red one with a spoon? :p

Nice fish Canyon Man.

....and for the record I agree with you on the color....it usually has nothing to do with how they taste.

Fishingjunky15-
That red one had the best meat out of all of them. The meat was just as good as the fish we were getting out of Westport and Bouy 10 in August.

nice catch C.M.
What kind of boat you running in the Snohomish River for those silvers? Same boat you spoke of when fishing the Columbia? I'm a saltchuck salmon guy primarlily, but looking for a boat that proves safe in AREAS 4-13, big rivers (Columbia& Cowlitz) and of course old favorite N. Sound rivers like the snoho system trib's. Feedback is appreciated. Loan is approved c/o credit union.
Hopefully 1 particular boat model is doable.
The hunt is on...

Canyonman,you suck,you should be ashamed for keeping all those fish.

Ya found the spot Canyon Man!

I tried above and below ya and got a few Humpsters, but No Silver!

Looks like the word is out now!

Ah well, back to chasing lockjawed Slivers

Glad ya got Mac into some, he needed it!!

I had fun watching you guys get em all day, while I watched.......

I wonder If Kid Sauk ended up with any after slippin in the sweet spot.

Theres some BIG fishies in there!!

WW

Hey CanyonMan.....
I sent you a friendly PM and have received no response by you..... You take on the silvers lockjaw? (Maybe thats why you catch them like you do... Ah, sorcery.. LOL)

Please at least send me a "buzz off" PM out of consideration??

MC

Canyon Man,
Thanks for the info. I couldn't get them to bite DN but got two to bite corkies. Two Bucks one 12.8 and one 15.5
thanks,
SVR

WTF was THAT all about?

I was wondering the same thing Dan. Try to help some people and see what you get! I just don't understand some people I guess!
Anyways...I did not fish this weekend but will try to sneak out tomorrow afternoon. Will post a report. Good luck to all.
Canyon Man

No kidding!!Maybe his first post should be his last?Canyon man,it will probably turn out to be a friend of yours,flippin you crap.

Damn nice fish.It always amazes me to see a 20+ silver.They just do not look right.I pulled one out of the duckabush while steelhead fishing in dec that I was afraid to reach down into its mouth!I am guessing its weight as it is a c/r fishery,but them biggens remind me of dinasours!

cats in the cooler--- you already have two strikes with only one post????play nice or no recess for you
