ON A BETTER NOTE YEAH That is great news, super that you got one, I have been skunked but everyone I know has been telling me NOT to use row here for springers only coho and fallies, at the coast roe is what we used most.

You know I have always been told to use Joy when around water cleaning anything because it wont kill the fish! ") Never heard of that sauce though! ") LOL

It's called burning the candle at both ends! There's always before work or after work! Can't catch springers once the runs is over!!! Go out and get'em while you can!

Quiting isn't really an option, especially with fish still coming

Not a good option, but I'm tired of casting. haha, now I'm just whining. I'll most likely be out at it again in the morning......hard to stop hoping there's a fish in there. Where there's a fish, there's a fisherman!

 

[RunWithSasquatch]

That sounds better...


Where are you fishing?

 

[Halfthrive]

Last time I fished the Umpqua my buddies and I got into these.

really I thought those looked like fall chinook! humm cool....

 

[Mad dog]

:think: What do fall Chinook look like??? :think:

Please explain?

 

[R&M Boatsaleslady]

Well thay all look the same but, the fall ones seem to look more beat up and bigger rougher looking.... Springers seem younger smaller, smooth.... That's what I always thought anyway~ Only ones that you can truely tell is coho to chinook here.

Are you insinuating that those fish in the pic are beat up looking??? :think: They were gorgeous looking fish!

For me, If I was looking for the difference between fall fish or spring fish would be an adipose fin....very few clipped fall fish in this state. It's the end of june, It's just how springers look by this part of the run, lot's of fish bronzing up by now!
