Good morning on the Alsea.

Caught these this morning. Saw a bunch jump and marked quite a few with the fish finder.

Yes the alsea is my home water we had a small cabin about a mile below Missouri bend. I would spend all summer there and every august we would get get the crap scared out of us by a random pod of boot lookin chinook staging up to spawn in our liil gravel bank as i got older the salmon runs got more intense every year. just goes to show how well salmon can do on there own without salmon hatcheries and a lot of riparian restoration. Glad to see a river that can sustain its self and produce quality food. Dont get me started on daddies in tha trap.

Nice catch dude. What were you fishing with on these? And were you off the bank or boat?
