One thing to remember about these transplanted Chilliwack summer reds is they are genetically adapted to travel hundreds of kilometers up the Fraser River, burning fat along the way.  This fish and those filmed by Chris are dark, but don’t have the travel so little energy (fat) is used.  With this stock it’s only the skin … inside these are prime eating fish.

Years ago I sampled 20 spawned summer reds for a parasite at the Chilliwack River hatchery... the flesh of these spawned fish, in late August, was still pink so I canned up a bunch of fillets; they were excellent, with lots of oil.  It’s a real shame this stock will never naturally colonize the C-V but they may be finest eating fish this hatchery produces.

Agreed.  The Vedder/Chilliwack red springs are prime table fish for sure!  Not to take anything away from Rod's chromers!

Landed my first red spring this week. Finally landed all pacific salmon!


This WAS my dinner tonight hahaha!

Were you born with a fillet knife in your hand?   Nice fish and nice job!

Caught this 21lb Chinook out by Gabriola Island/Nanaimo. Went with Bon Chovy for 2 days for a friend's bachelor party. 15 of us, everyone caught a fish. On the second day our boat (out of 4) reached our limits. This was the biggest fish of the trip!

Battled the buzzbombers to catch this chromer on the fly this morning.
It was raining so the flash went off, but I had to double check it wasn't a 'ho.

These fish are from up north the run is much larger than we get in the lower mainland, but the risk of a grizzly fishing companion is high too lol.

Took this pink on a pink clouser off the Signature 14th Hole at Furry Creek.
