Area 9 Silvers

[t_dub]

sucks that kings had to get shut down early, but it was nice of the silvers to show up in decent numbers to take their place. had our limit by 0800 this morning. nothing big yet, they were all 5-7# range, but feisty as always. all had empty stomachs even though we caught them along a rip that was loaded with bait??? green squid, green flasher, 50' down.

Hey TDub!
I hope you don't mind me fixin' that pic...

Thanks for the report! The number and size of the coho is surprising and definitely softens the chinook closure blow...

Are those resident coho? I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if they were truly ocean fish.

two were hatchery, two were wild. the two hatchery had mature egg and milt sacs and the male was just starting to get a hook nose, so i'd have to say they were ocean. the two wild ones were the smallest two so i'd guess resident.

I see sea lice on at least 3 of them... don't think they pick those up in the Sound. Only detail you didn't give was where at. Good job Ty
