Hey Fish Slayer, I saw you on the river, I was on rock #187,675 below you.   

And here I always thought the Universal Rock Numbering System increased as you went up river.

Looks like the Golf Course run to me.

Nice catch dude...looks like its been one heck of a yr for coho this yr...days of old...too bad im out of province...know a few spots away from the crowds.

Once upon a time way back in 1986 the Expo year ;   I caught  4 coho like that on the ocean front of the Cap.    On the fly;  smallest mickey finn I have used ever.   Not even stainless hooks !    I have not had a  4 coho day ever since.   

All caught fly fishing within casting distance and  with the sun in my eyes not the fishes.   Any one got a theory about that ?    Is there any sun shyness on the fishes part due to the sun in their vision.      Maybe that is why I caught more salmon from shore on a cloudy  rainy day,  in  lower vis  water clarity.

i assume if a fish cannot see above the surface too well, it will want to be closer to the shore as the current is typically less along the bank (but not always). I would say 90% of the fish I hook are within 10 feet of the shore or less

Ohhh..... how many times I've clumsily waded into the flow at first light just to have 1-20 salmon book it upstream upon my arrival.......DOH!!!

Can't speak for salmon because I'm not one.....
My thoughts are similar to NiceFish, salmon are a species of survival first. Upon arriving at their spawning flow, they face more challenges in their pea sized brain then we ever do with our softball sized brain

Face the situation head on, you've got a bounty on your head and you need to drive to location X. What do you prefer, coasting along a single lane highway on a bright sunny day, watching the ditches with paranoia? OR Driving with the rain pelting down in the pitch black, headlights barely lighting the way....?

Get out on the flow when she's coming down in buckets, you will find some flows to yourself.

Try blue foxes and twitching jigs when the water is high and dirty...it kills em.
