Started at first light mid river and saw a few fish rising. One brief encounter with a bright coho on roe bag.
Drove down to see the rail bridge in Yarrow and decided not to stay. A guy came to ask for jumper cables, I had taken them out of the truck on the weekend and forgot to put them back in. Crappy place to have your battery die. Was stopped by dfo on the way out and they wanted to know if I had heard that Chum were shut down as of October 16, 2011 seemed pleased that I was aware. Told them about the guy at the end of the road needing a jump start, they had cables. Hope he got the truck started.
Went down to KWB and drove up and down the dike. Fished the bridge and hooked a large doe on roe...gently released. Guy beside me asked why I didn't keep it. Told him 0 retention on Chums as of Oct 16. Thought the guy below heard me. 30 minutes later he hooks a similar Chum.....bonk. He was 400 feet away and with the river and bridge noise didn't hear me warn him. On my way out I spoke to him and he wasn't aware.
Nice day for a drive.
