After a bit of a too much to do hiatus we got back on the throttle and went fishing. We decided to hit the South Sound, in part because you can still retain chinook and because almost 30 years ago I u...

Ok, this report isn’t as bad as it looks. We only brought home two fish, one a darker 10 pound plus hen, but we were able to catch them later in the morning using our conventional sockeye gear. A red ...
