Amazing fish

about 10,000 years ago I worked in the cannery in Egegik which cured me of ever wanting to eat canned salmon... simply beautiful fish you're catching.

Am surprised you haven't had snow yet. Last time I was there we had 5 inches of snow at the end of August

thx for all the pics and info. those char are pretty fish.
The environment is troublesome for an angler, that's for sure. Just as the fish begin moving into the river in good numbers, the weather gets colder than a witch's t!t. I just hate it when I can't wedge my feet into my frozen wading boots! I don't see why the calendar and the fish's movement couldn't be better coordinated, from a fisherman's perspective, that is.
If you've ever fished the reservoir lake beds in the mid valley, those lake-runs look just like steelhead with their sleek and silvery bodies....except that they're typically only 15-18".

Alaskans like cold weather and snow because tourists and Texans go home….
