I had 9 days off from work and made it a fishing vacation. Goose lake was the first weekend and I caught a ton of fish...fly fishing with Calabedis both the emerger and the adult versions. See pictures posted on Goose Lake.
Then on Wednesday I headed to Orcas Island, with a stop at Whidby Island for the night to visit a friend who just got relocated with the Navy. Great feature of his new home...just 6 minutes from the beach!! He has been catching 2 humpies a day...on the high tide. Pink Salmon to be exact and it was my turn to finally catch a salmon I could keep. So the morning high tide was at 5:40am and I got up early to try and catch myself a fish. On my 3 cast..boom fish on...but it came unbuttoned...DANG!! A few casts later and this bright Pink Salmon came knocking...
Everyone is fishing for these fish at high tide with a pink Buzz Bomb and doing very well. This salmon was 22" long and I don't know how much it weighed. I had some fresh Salmon to take to my in-laws home and they were really excited to have us there.
