Northwest Fishing Reports

Well, it finally happened... the first salmon has spilled its blood on the new boat. A nice silver out of the Confluence Hole on the Snoho today. Took an orange Brad's Wiggler around noonish today. What can I say, it is LONG overdue but I am completely beside myself to have finally put a fish in the boat after much effort and a huge learning curve! And it was a hen ta' boot! Got some roe for the freezer.

Sorry for crappy pix, cell phone is all I got in that department right now :(

thats a sick fish, i hope my luck improves tomorrow.

solid!

Nice job!

Nice fish and sweet boat!

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get back out and get skunked again, lol!

wellmaybe if you would remember the roe lol. u have forgotten it twice now lol

Ahh, the old orange Wiggle Wart. Back in the day thats what I caught my first silver on. Anyway, thats a pretty nice fish dude.

hey sapi i think matt would let you in the sled with a puffer stick lol

Great job Matt...thanks for sharing! :geek:

Whoah dont let that crazy fly swinger in your boat! He might HOOK your NECK! Nice fish though

haha he caught you didnt he lol.

werent you there for that? it might have been braden. But yeah right in the neck

no. sadly i wasnt. but i think matt and i have a bigger fear then flys tho. dont we matt. just think what hit the side of your sled lol

that fly hurt though! he was on his back cast and it whipped around my neck and the hook caught me in the jugular, luckily the barb didnt make it in
Matt is your sled an 18 foot with a 115 hanging on it? Looks nice though

Awesome fish, great work Matt! And LOVE the new boat! I'll keep an eye out for you on the river next time I get out! Hope I can get one of those in the boat soon too!

LOL Curado, yah flying 1/2 oz cannonball weights are something to fear as well, but only when we fish with Benjamin. The boat is a 17' not 18, and yeah its a 115 Yami, pushes the boat pretty good at 30 mph on plain, tops out at 37 mph if I pin it open, have the wind at my back, and am going downstream :safe:

I think I am going back up there tomorrow with a friend of mine, hopefully the fish gods smile upon us again.

hit the same area hard

That's the plan, gunna pull plugs through that same water and if we can't turn a keeper or two we are going to go throw eggs and shrimp down along "the wall". I'll text yah if we stir anything up.

Good luck fishing tomorrow.
