First strip. Must have been swimming with her mouth open.

Resident coho?

Yes

Decent size for a rezzie. I like the same fly but I put 2-3 peacock herls over the chartreuse and sometimes using only a very few strands of each color buck tail but one flat wing of each color. Do you use some pink or silver flash? I like the pearl flat body braid too, sometimes pink, chartreuse, or silver braid. Always a red hot-spot.

Thanks.

Hit it today kind of not expecting much. 13 foot tide swing and a wind forecast of 20kts with a mid morning High tide. Couldn't have been more wrong. Had 6 fish to hand, lost 2 others, released 2 high finners back to the deep.

What a day! Over at PnP w the masses. Didn't see many nets flying?

NICE!!!!!

Fished it Sunday and saw one net out. The big excitement was the intellectually challenged skipper who drove his 35+ foot (?) sailboat under power through the middle of the pack of boats hanging right on PNP.

Let's say there were a lot of unkind words directed his way as folks maneuvered to avoid his Eminence.

Sorry, I didn't think anybody else heard me.

Actually, there were a couple boats did the same thing but the white one with an aluminum fishing boat in tow was the worst. If there's a just creator, the skipper will have certain tender parts become inflamed and fall off.

Really? I was in Kingston......(not). But whomever was doing the chewing out was giving him an earful which was less than what he deserved.

I guess if you have it on autopilot you don't have to change course just because fisherman are in your way. PnP is on a strait line to everywhere. I love the ones that wave at you as they go by. I usually wave back with bird in one hand and wristrocket in the other. They probably just wonder why.

Nah, he was at the big wheel in the cockpit. He easily could have swung to the outside.

Saw you out there single handing. Maybe get a chance to say hello in Sept.

Well it was a great season and tonight we closed it with a bang. Fished the 3pm tide change at Pilot and had 3 takers including one dandy probably 19. Too bad it's over but it was a great ride! Side note we marked a bunch of coho and saw a few schools of jumpers at the surface. Good sign of things to come?

Nice fish, but I would like to see the season extended for Chinook if the quota allows.

Fished the MA9 area this morning and got myself a good Coho and lost a couple more. Saw several more caught, One 12lber as well. Seems to me they are finally here! If I could figure out how to put pictures on here now...

How close did we come to the Area 9 quota of 3218 Chinook?

If quota’s can close down fisheries then quota’s should extend fisheries if not met.

IMO, the tribes are all in for conservation as long as it comes out of the sport fisher part of the ledger. Otherwise, the tribes say screw conservation. Polar opposite from the image that the tribes are trying to project of themselves for years.

Preliminary Area 9 take is 2879 through August 15 --almost 89.5% of the quota leaving 339 chinook.

Ryan L. PS salmon manager is missing in action this week. What a time for a vacation when we need him the most to help try to extend the season.

WDFW is taking input on area 9: Yea or Nay to extend season or anything else on your mind.

Anyone been out fishing for coho in the days since the closure? I was thinking of taking my nephew out on Saturday to try and hook him into fishing but would really love to make his first time fishing on my boat a winning trip.

Heard on the outdoor line that Possession might be the best bet. Any thoughts? I was thinking of trying in front of Edmonds but I personally think it might be a little early for that.

Been fishing Salisbury with success... the evening bite it good on big tide changes. Morning is where its at and the beach is easy to fish from. Its still hit or miss but lots of bait being balled upand fish moving just too far out. When the fish are there tho.. doesn't matter what you throw out there.
