[lucky]

The wife and I spent the weekend camping in Hope, Saturday we barfished most of the day from a walk-in spot. An hour after we set up the bell starts ringing, quick sprint to the rod and its FISH ON! hoping for the first chinook of the season, but lo and behold a very large and healthy sockeye breaks the surface. After a short battle the sockeye is back on its way. Some hours later without any action Mary decided to switch over and fish for some pikeminnows, she couldnt keep the bait on the hook as the bites were steady. After she got tired of baiting the hook we packed it in.

Spoke to a bunch of boats over the weekend, most getting into some chinook, but Id say the majority had to be released. The good news is just about everyone we talked with were into sockeye, as well we spotted some bigs schools on the move over the weekend. For a low year in the cycle things are looking pretty decent for this early in the season.

I'm sure all of those released springs have an excellent chance for survival now. It's too bad DFO are such a bunch of fools. 77 or less is THE dumbest rule I've seen implemented yet. Nice to see sock numbers starting to increase. Again, you can sit on the river all day and stress fish after fish, and still never catch your legal limit. When are they going to WAKE UP?
