Fall Chinook

I spent a great day yesterday with Clay and Henry Snaza.

We ended the day 3 for 1.  Chinook are just darned tough to land.  They love to eat flies, but they never play well with you after they do!

These are a few of the patterns we served up for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.  Switching patterns often during the day until you start getting hook-ups allows me to fish with more confidence.  Some days the fish will take a fly so softly, other day's its like a thunder clap.  Yesterday, the fish would just stop the fly, or lightly tap it.

Perfect sized hatchery fish for the grill!
