A Bright One From Saturday
Went to the Sand on Saturday to try my luck at some Coho.
After a dunking early on, which seemed to have satisfied the fishing gods, I brought in this bright hen. 
She went about 10 lbs and was great poached on the bbq Sunday night.

Was using a weighted egg on top and trailing a pink and white coho fly, sorry, not sure of the the name.
She actually took the egg patter. Small and pink was the way to go on Saturday.

Re: A Bright One From Saturday
I'm hoping to get back out this coming weekend.
I am sure that the rain will bring out more folks, still it should be a great opportunity to pick up some fish.

Re: A Bright One From Saturday
Too bad you didn't enter the Coho Challenge: you'd be in second place!
Still a nice fish!

Andy,
It is Murphy's Law. If I would have entered the challenge, I wouldn't have caught any fish this year.
Seems to be how things have gone over the past couple of years when I have entered the challenges.

Several of my very best days have come when I forgot to bring the camera, too. Although, I haven't quite reached the point of faith where I leave the camera at home on purpose just to increase my luck on the water...
