where would you spend it? The big C or the Sky?

LaPush

Spend the day with the wife and kids like I'll have to. Misery loves company!

just spent four days not getting on the water till 10. Wife said I needed to spend some family time before salmon season really picked up.

BTW... Baker Lake over Diablo, hands down.

I'd spend the day in front of the computer waiting for Sol to post on the darkside....

alright soo with all the great advice i think i'll take the C for some summer Kings. Maybe i'll get lucky and hook into a sockeye.

CR has lots of oppertunities right now....

Think orange colorado blade spinners with a small piece of prawn

Stay home work on the tan & wife,load up on brownie points before the salmon season's wide open.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

sounds like years of wisdom. Thanks for the advice! Good thing she works Thursday. I'll be taking the old man out for a ... me do everything, him sit back and enjoy, payback for all the fishing he took to do .... day. Hope we hit some fish.

After two weeks with no wife and the kids, I'd go anywhere. Just get me outta here......

SZ makes a good point!

Can I swing by and borrow your driftboat Parker since you are "busy"??

Snocrappy.... I'ts on fire !

Chinook salmon retention ends
Sunday on the Skykomish River

OLYMPIA - Starting Sunday (July 5), anglers will be required to release any chinook salmon they catch on the Skykomish River, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today.

The new rule, which takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, prohibits the retention of chinook from the Lewis Street Bridge in Monroe upstream to the Wallace River, the only portion of the Skykomish River currently open to salmon fishing.

The rule change does not affect fishing for hatchery steelhead and other gamefish on the Skykomish River.

Low chinook returns to the Wallace River Hatchery prompted WDFW to close the river to chinook retention to help ensure enough salmon make it back to the hatchery to meet spawning goals, said Annette Hoffman, regional fish program manager for WDFW.

If it later appears spawning goals will be met at the hatchery, WDFW may re-open the fishery, said Hoffman.

Anglers can check for updates on the department's website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/regs/fishregs.htm

thanks Parker. I called Ted's for a CR report and he said he thought it closed already. Regs say open ...no E-closures. Did find the E-closure for the sky report today. Damn it!

I really don't get how folks can live DownSouth.

hope you get to get out....im lucky...my hubby only makes me go shopping with him about once every month and a half..by then we have tossed off everything we should have done, and have to do some serious shopping...i hate weekends i cant fish...just had a couple of those...now im ready for the summer...

its amazing how much you can get done during the week after work...im a slave driver....but i have learned if i let my hubby change the oil in his truck without disrubtion...except to ask if he is hungry or needs a drink...he is finished way earlier...i score!!!...hahahah...c

That was good.
