I'll see your 22 lb. and raise you a 37 lb. Springer...a trip with my dad, fresh
from the salt in the legendary Hoh River...my dad passed in '09, but we always
talked about that trip..

Nice fish ! Nicer memory I bet.

 

[Oregon Viking]

Similar to us. Think roughly $31 a lb. Your dollar is pretty close to ours in conversion.

42 buckish in our dollar a kg. That's a good price.
I don't buy ours though anymore as its all farmed fish from pens in the ocean and they're fed antibiotics and other crap. Though recently there is a ban coming in on the antibiotics use but I still don't eat it now as they're an untrustworthy industry here. They'll find another way to feed them something not on the new ban list I bet.

That's what I'm guessing that Atlantic crap salmon I pictured is. Our Pacific ocean salmon are most excellent !!!

Oh yeah, he's up there. I often forget as he seems so normal.

Farmed shit

Yeh we don't eat that.

The Chetco River, located near Brookings on the southern Oregon coast, is a premier, undammed river renowned for its large,, wild fall Chinook salmon (averaging 20+ lbs, with many 40-50+ lb fish) and strong winter steelhead runs.

My brother quite fishing off Vancouver Island.
Sold his boat and just goes out on a charter.
Most of the salmon have Lice even many years ago.
They said one time they'd get rid of the pens and quit Raising the Atlantic Salmon in the Pacific.

Yep, I wouldn't be eating that stuff either...I can handle farmed catfish, but farming
salmon is a bad idea (for the fish).

Those are some real toads, and I see your Springer technique is the same I used for so many
years, that being a K15/K16 Quickfish with a juicy sardine fillet wrap. Have you ever tried the
same for Chum? Buddy and I used to use side-planers from the bank, and back them down
right into the fish...the Skagit used to get a huge Chum run, and we'd catch fish until our
arms ached..

Chum isn't everyone's favorite on the plate, but they sure do smoke up well...

No as we don't get that many down here. And the fatter the fish the better I like 'em smoked !! Rolling papers are hard to find...

Chum salmon occasionally observed in the Chetco River, though they are not a primary species in this system, which is dominated by fall Chinook, winter steelhead, and sea-run cutthroat trout. These fish are sometimes encountered as by-catch during fall salmon fishing, often in the lower river. While they have a strong presence in the northern Oregon coast and Washington, they are rare in southern Oregon rivers, including the Chetco.
