Big king

Fished for a couple of hours early on 8/16 and got 2 back to back. Went back on the the 23rd, slept through my alarm, yet limited out again in 2 1/2 hours. One of which weighed in at 33 lbs. There's fish on the finder. Seems like the season is starting off hot!

Fantastic Fish!
If only you'd caught them Spey casting right....lol
Just teasing nice fish I can't wait to get out

My boys and I fished for a couple hours on the 23rd. We were in a blue north river drift boat between 1and 3 pm. Were you out there at that time? We picked up 1 nice 21pound hen.

Good fish, welcome to OFF.

Great first post! Well done; and welcome to OFF.

outstanding. the river is getting even for me after last year, I have put in 8 solid days so far, lots of pre-sunrise launches, been fishing from the jaws to RR bridge, and until 2pm this afternoon, I had not seen even a single fish hooked or netted. I saw 2 smaller chinooks caught this afternoon below Cushman. that is how it goes sometimes...cheers, roger

Thanks for the welcome! I was out there from 8 to 10:30. I was in a drifter with a 9.9 so I am not always motivated to venture that far. All my fish were caught between the bridge and the boat ramp. Although, I have done a fair amount of crabbing down by the coast guard station this year and have seen a few fish on the finder there. I would say up till now they seem to have been concentrated between the boat ramp and just below the bridge. I can't speak for higher such as Cushman. I have started to see boats trolling up there though.
