Caught this King 1st thing in the morning , within 10 minutes I hooked up using a Blue Fox spinner, didn't bring the net or boots but with a solid hookup right in tip of upper jaw I was able to pull her in, meat was still good, will put her on a fire tonight! Also had nice skeins of eggs. Still waiting for the silvers, though. Bob R

Colored fish if you eat 'em quick can turn out decent ;-) I use a little alder wood on the fire and try to put out the flames for a little to get some smoke flavor on them. Thanx for the report!

Nice catch Bob R. Was that a size 3 or 4 spinner?

It was a # 5 Blue fox, no weight, the fish turned out great, broiled it after lightly marinating in orange juice and white wine, with garlic, salt and pepper, really a great tasting fish(and I eat a fair amount of bright salmon so I can be a pretty good judge of fish quality ,did it commercially for a few years). I didn't see any silvers jumping or any being caught, but they are getting thicker, it's a good time to fish as the tribe isn't fishing this week, although I wouldn't count on that being the case much longer(like maybe next week?). Thanks for comments, Bob R

Bob R,
that looks like you're standing on a boat launch. On the Nisqually? Where is that at?

It's a tribal launch at Frank's landing NOT open to the public, I have access as I am the photo and video archivist for the Frank's Landing community. Bob R.
