Hooked into my first batches this Thanksgiving. I could have had a 100 fish day if I wanted to. It blew my mind how aggressive they were. Some looser yuppie was keeping snagged fish (He made fun of me for releasing a fish, which I find hilarious because his karma is going to be eating dark Chum), and I cannot understand why because these fish would strike at anything you put in front of them. The spot I chose did not have room for fly casting which broke my heart as I am sure they would have taken a hare leech with glee. I saw someone emerge from the woods and start wading, it might be time for a bushwacking trip because the water behind the gear combat hole was packed with fish and perfect for swinging
I have long wanted to photograph spawning salmon, and got a chance this year. Most of the photos here are from Pipers Creek, but a few are from Kennedy Creek near Olympia. I wish I had a polarizer or underwater housing to photograph the Kennedy fish, it was definitely a sight to see hundreds all stacked in that tiny body of water. The Wallace was just as enchanting

Time to break out that 8 wt. They are here.
You might need to tussle with a beaver though while angling for the wily chum.
You can euro nymph them while sitting on the park bench in the middle of the beaver dam.

@Stonedfish I was tanned, rested, and ready for a Carkeek '23 thread. Instead, we get this....
Still some fresh fish present, if you look for them.
