Chum Salmon

I arrived at the river 30 minutes before first light, and fished until noon. Rained hard all day with some strong gusts at times and heavy overcast. I fished jigs under a float on my centerpin set up. Pink over white 1/4 oz jigs about 20" under the float in 4 ft of water. 3 ft of visibility. I went 6/11 on chum salmon, i wasnt alone out there today though, it was a gong show for sure.

Jon - Thanks for all of your reports from across the border. I'm glad you are getting some time on the water. Nice job! (I do miss fishing with you. Let me know if your in the area and we can hook up.).

For sure chwong will do. I certainly wont fish washington this year. When (if) coho runs return to near normal i may consider fishing the snohomish/skykomish again. I do love that river..

If you ever feel the need to explore up here, let me know.

Went back same place same technique this morning and went 7/10 on chum again. Looks like a banner year for them up here according to the locals.

Jonb - You're making me jealous. I may have to come pay you a visit. I actually fished the west side of Vancouver Island in August. You're definitely not missing anything here. I fished Snohomish this week and last week and it was very slow. The Smack Talk hole wasn't producing either. I even have tried some different locations also. Good Luck to you.

This river im fishing for chum is just getting good, 2 weeks from now should be peak. Apparantly landing 20-40 fish per day is the norm. Ive had lots of people tell me that landing 7 chum in a morning is slow fishing and that in 2 weeks the real run will show up lol.
