This was first year fishing Sockeye and likely my last. Three times I went fishing by myself at first light and three times I caught 2 fish. # times I went later in the day with a group, like today, and met up with a zoo. It just isn't fun.
The contrast between yesterday and today was unreal. Yesterday I hit seabird at first light. I fished the upper end and had 300 meters between me and the next fisherman. I caught, oops hooked, two fish in and went home satisfied not with the catching so much as the peace and solitude. This evening I went back to Seabird. There were 200 hundred people there at least. It was a zoo. Most people were polite and friendly, but for me this is not fishing. Needless to say I didn't stay long, I got skunked and headed home.
I plan to go back to the bars in the next couple of weeks for clean up detail. I don't know about this Sockeye fishing, if you enjoy it that is fine for you. I just hope they do not open it again or I might be tempted to go back out.
