I would of loved to be out bar fishing the Fraser today, but with other things to do later on, decided to hit the Chilliwack for a bit in the morning in search of red springs. While there are a few fish through the system, I heard of a decent push making its way through. I made my decision on where I was going to target them and was there just after first light.
Saw quite a few roll infront of me while I was there. Got one about 20ish lbs not long after i began fishing. Great fight, made me chase it down river and jumped a few times. Decided to let it go, was darker than I was expecting. That kind of surprised me as I figured with the higher water we recently had, they would shoot up fairly quick with out holding much. A little while later got another, 12lbs but cleaner so I bonked it and headed home. Had two more hits inbetween the two fish but they didnt hook up.
Water where I was fishing was very clear and at a nice height. All in all, great morning with a lot more action than i expected. Felt great to hook a couple salmon again, looking forward to firing up the smoker.
