Pete Vredeveld along with his father-in-law Craig joined me today for Pete’s annual fall salmon trip. Fishing was good with plenty of opportunities for success though as it goes with salmon fishing many fall short of the net.
If I haven’t yet convinced you of the overall health of the salmon this year I hope that Pete’s massive king drives the nail home for you! 20lb king are quite common this year and this beast tipped the boga to an even 26lb without even a jiggle. This salmon is the largest salmon I have boated personally in 4 years; a 30lb Chinook will be caught this year! Look for fishing to really crank up over the next week or so as these fish need to hit the river regardless of flow.
