Additional Notes:
Pinks fun every odd year, and predications say this will be the best year for salmon runs since 1984. Pinks have been running good for the last 2 weeks and no sign of letting up as they are still thick up in the Strait around Sekiu area. I'd like to thank the members of this forum, especially Denman and Fishingfool, for helping out w/ information. These were my very first Pinks ever and I loved the non-stop action! - Thanks Mav
