Tried a New Spot on the Fraser!! July 23rd
« on: July 23, 2006, 06:16:22 PM »
Well, ThickRick, our buddy Norm and myself made it out to the River at about 6am or so.  This was a spot that I wasn't sure about.  But it was fishable.  ;D  We got into 7 chinooks, and landed 3!!  They were 21lbs, 21lbs and 18 lbs.  Norm has most of the pics but I will get them later.  These are the few pics that I got. ;)




Didn't matter how much sunscreen we put on, we couldn't get out of the sun!!  We are burnt crisp.  Poor Bald Norm is now a very very Red head!! ;D  But he stole my hat because I have ample hair, so I hope that it isn't that bad!!  Thanks for coming guys, it would have been boring out there by myself!!  :D

Nice catch Bigsteel!  We sure are fortunate to have access to these prime quality fish at our door steps.

Good grief Rick, look at the size of that gash on your fish's abdomen, how big was your hook?! ;D ;D ;D

Nice fish, sounds like another good push of fish is coming through. :)

Have a closer look and you will see that it also had half of its tail missing !!! we are not sure whether that gash on the belly came from a hook or a seal , that fish put up the best fight of the day and it only had half a tail.. just shows you how hardy those big chinooks can be!!!!!!!
It was another great day on the flow with a couple of great guys, was a lil hot for my liking but unlike Lil Steel I used enough sunscreen and I am not burnt to a crisp today lol

nice fish guys. But a question for you big steel. HOW FAR ARE YOU HOLDING THAT FISH OUT IN FRONT OF YOU? I already know that trick from you. Trying to make the fish look bigger or what? ;D ;D
