Way to go! I thought for a moment you did a funky fillet job on that salmon, then I read below…..

It's a great-looking fish.Got another rezzie this morning, about the same size as the last one, 2.5-3lbs. After fishing for stocked trout and bass the past 6 months I forgot how exciting it is when fish pull drag

Sure it looks nice and organized for now, won’t take much to get all messed up
Ha. It will look like a rats nest by 9 am Thursday.Sure it looks nice and organized for now, won’t take much to get all messed up
What...no Poppers?
Nah. As exciting as it is watching coho slash top water flies, I do like to feel a tug once in awhile. IMO poppers have their time and place…just usually not where and when I’m fishing

I had to fish after daycare dropoff, so didn’t hit the water until 9am, which was good for about an hour fishing under the clouds. Caught one shaker, saw no adult fish caught. One boat caught a nice king.
Out there again post daycare dropoff tomorrow for another low percentage shot. Then at the beach at 0430 Saturday morning to make the most of the predawn window.
Agree with @jasmillo that the water movement looked really nice today.

Not that I know where you’re at but I do like the crowd that I see.

Indeed! However there is about 8 others fishing left of the photo. I did have one beach to myself early but only for about an hour until a few others showed up.
Better today, 2/2 on little 3 lbers. Both clipped, but no ice chest so it’s their lucky day.
Small sample size, but I feel like the rezzies I’m seeing this summer are a touch smaller than last year’s cohort. The fish I caught were decently fat, though, and looked healthy.
In an unsavory first, I felt a little tick as I was stripping in, and when my fly made it back to me, there was a coho eyeball on it. Bummer. Anyone ever had that happen?
Not much action until the current set up a beautiful murky water / clear water divide along a rip about 60 feet out. That setup is how the Puget Sound fish gods tell you they love you and want you to be happy. Cast out into the clear water, get hit in the first 10 feet or so of murk. The bait was really popping in that zone too.
Now I’m gonna dig into a Villebilly breakfast at the Hansgrill (hot spotting!). Hope everyone else got into a fish or two today.
