Fall Chinook 2004 Season Review (pics)

[First Bite]

It's been another great season fishing for Fall Chinook Salmon. We caught fish using a variety of jigs including a few new custom-tied jigs.

Here are a couple fish pics of some willing biters. All but one of the fish were released.


This beautiful hen took a plain beaded salmon custom-tied three feather jig. She was sitting about 12 feet deep

Here is a nice buck that fell for "The Quad" with a shrimp tail. He was released after we took the picture.

Here is another nice buck that was caught on the same jig. He was also laying about 12 feet down.

This hen was caught in low, clear water about eight feet deep using a pink marabou jig.

One morning we went to the Kilchis tidewater and found some fresh Chum that couldn't resist our Fuchsia Tail Flasher jigs.

I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their fish stories with us and we look forward to many more seasons of salmon fishing here in the great northwest.
