There used to be a springtime fishery in Georgia strait for immature coho's. These 12"-18" little guys were called bluebacks here in B.C. This fishery dissapeared in the mid 1980's when whatever was left of the little guys went out to the west coast of Van.isle instead of living their short lives in the inside waters.

I always thought a blueback was a Canadian Illegal Alien living in the US.

You would Parker, you would. (roll eyes)

I could be mistaking a blueback for a Kokanee.

You could. You're on a roll today. You're just full of sass cuz you caught a springer Thursday!

Two springers. I caught TWO springers.

that must be a first this year parker catching to fish the same day

Limit's one Parker. Presume the first was wild and released, eh?

Quinault blueback sockeye listed in the indian regs for the lake cannot be fished for or retained. good eats none the less. Available at their fish store in Tahola. okbye

Hey I just NOW noticed my new "title"

I've even got a blue shirt on my back to cover my red neck today!

Bluebacks, rednecks.... hell, we all look alike anyway, right?

Better than Blueballs......

I don't think the terms are mutually exclusive.

Blueback Salmon... fNp style:



Ain't no stinkin' Blue Balls on that baby!

Tease......

Hey... ever notice how the fish in my eyeFISH logo are also Blueback Salmon?

thanks guys, just wondering............again the only time I hear that term it has to do with sea run cutty's

Plastic fish don't count

I used to fish the streams around Willipa Bay and those guys called Sea-Runs "Bluebacks" as well.

Parker...don't flatter yourself. As I stated when you "supposedly" lost your skunk with bob: "If you lose the skunk with Bob, steelheading around forks, it DOESN'T count." Well, springer fishing with Keith is pretty much the same. It doesn't count when you go with someone that good. You were just taking a position in the boat (btw when do I get to take one of those positions ).

So, technically, you are still skunked for springers!

lol

CM

So, what you are telling me is that I have to fish with *you* to get this skunk streak off of me?



Assume the position, Scott. Assume the position.
