Why, you ask?

Well, the river I live on is getting a massive Pink Salmon return this year, and if no one
catches the things by mid-Oct. they end up either dying or drifting up on our beach.
The word I hear is about 125,000 Pinks are on their way, and they're not at all hard to
catch. We call them Humpies due to the large hump the males grow once they begin their
spawning cycle.

We have a nice (most of the time) long beach with plenty of room, and one of the
best salmon holes on the Skagit right in my backyard. The lot next door is set up
for camping or an RV, (with full services), and the owner wouldn't ask much for a
few days stay.

Why am I so happy to freely share this bounty?

Do you have any idea what a few hundred rotting salmon corpses smell like on a warm
day?

Dizzy, I saw where they were saying the "pinks" were "imperiled" in Calif and Wash. What is the limit on them? A few of my friends and I aren't above traveling to fish. :)

PackerBacker: By mid-Sept. we also get a return run of Coho Salmon, and the season
in the upper river (my area) opens on 9/16. Limit is 4 per day, only 2 of which can be
Coho. You'll want to C&R the Humpies and keep the first 2 Coho you land, then keep
a couple Pinks if you want.

Non-res license is $84.50 (annual) for freshwater only, and 3-day is $35.50.
