With the rains all November, we got out when we could between the rains, and now we are getting a great run of chinooks a little later than we usually do.

It's been a fun week since the rains have stopped. As is common with late season fishing, we have had to pick through for the bright fish, but that is always fun too. With the bucks we still have a little leeway (a little grey or red on the bellies), but any thing less than the perfect chrome hen should be released this time of year because the meat will not be good enough to eat. Don't be afraid to release the fish to find the super chromers.

One of the last rainy days.

Rich came out fishing with his boys for his 60th birthday. They seemed pretty happy that we had to reschedule their two day November trip to December.

Expect awesome chinook fishing right up to the end of December this year. Plus the steelhead have started showing up so a mix bag is there to be had. We will try to get up some more pics soon. We have a bunch more but just been too busy:smash: :smash: .

Wow, what a nice week of weather and chrome for December. Just can't get myself to start steelhead fishing yet with all this December chrome around.
