Thanks for checking out my journal. Being new to salmon fishing, I have learned some great tips from the people on this site. I decided to start a journal for my salmon fishing experiences. So far, this has been an exciting start to something I see myself doing for some time now.
Recently, I caught my very first salmon at Cedar Creek on the Sandy River. I have been concentrating my efforts on the Sandy as it's close to me and I want to take the time to get to know the water. Below is a picture of a nice hatchery coho hen that was my first ever salmon.


A few days later which was last Sunday, 10-11-09 I caught this buck further downstream from Cedar Creek. The bites were relatively slow and I really had to hike in and find this fish. This fish will be my first attempt at smoking salmon.



So, that brings me to today. I caught my 3rd salmon ever and it happened to be a native hen. Great looking fish and my first native. It was a good exercise in landing the fish and release it unharmed. I got this fish around the garbage hole area. Not much action for other folks there.



I look forward to the day I hit my limit. I know I will with the great advice and knowledge I pick up from the OFF members here. Thanks everyone!
