I really need to boat a salmon and soon!

I don't know as much about the western side of the San Juans but the usual areas around Rosario Straight have been producing. Tide Pont and Thatcher Pass have been good to me. I have also heard that fish are being caught on Fidalgo Head. Spoons, plugs and trolled herring all seem to be working.

WOW!!!

A 28 pound, fin-clipped Chinook that most likely would be near 40 pounds by the time it would have spawned.

Only one word I can think of;

OINK!
