I saw a guy at the busstop with a broken rod, he said a chinook snapped it as he was bringing it in on the cap, and it was a big rod

Sounds Like fun  :D I would prolly curse, then laugh about it for days If that happened to my rod. Might have to stop by.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I would be a bit shocked at first and then laugh afterwords.  A fishing story one would not forget.

there have been great whites in cap river for a long time. The chinook salmon in the cap are transplants from the harrison river... got a tyee last year. always wondered why they chose white chinooks instead of red.

Yup. I fished the cap at my usual spots today but it was really fast so went up to cable pool to have a look. These guys were foul hooking springs and everytime it would get rushed downstream by the rapids. I watched two guys almost get spooled out. I dunno why they even bother to fish there when its high. Almost impossible to land and I've seen a few rods broken by springs.

Has anyone hooked into coho? All I seem to get are coho jacks, jack springs and tons of chum. No Coho or springs yet for me. Havent seen anyone land a mature coho yet. They probably shot up to the hatchery huh?

I hooked four mature cohos there yesterday, but was not able to land any because of the rapids. I saw one or two get brought in (legally).
