FALL FISHING RINGS TRUE



I thought this Fall would never come. Being a river fisherman, it seems like I must listen to countless stories about nickel bright Silvers and Kings being caught in the ocean, all Summer long. All I can do is wait for the Fall.

The time of the year when these 200 foot deep Ocean dwelling silver bullets and freight-trains venture up into water where us bank and driftboat fishermen can fish them….our Northwest rivers and streams. For other ALLAROUNDANGLERS like myself, the river season can’t last long enough.

Although the Fall King run itself, lasts around 3 to 4 months in total; as a river fisherman casting leads, eggs and bobbers, I only get about 6 good weeks. Now that’s not to say I don’t hook Fall fish in December at the coast, because I do. But it won’t produce like the previous month of November in most cases.

For those of you who haven’t experienced our local Fall Chinook fishery, I would recommend seriously considering doing so. I could, of course, use less people on the water, but would not be doing my duty to inform if I didn’t share my vision of this wonderful thing THAT IS river fishing for Salmon in the Fall.

I recently had a friend who visited my website. He’s new to angling and excited to learn about what to fish for, and when. He pointed out and reminded me that NOT EVERYONE who stops by the site is equipped with the experience or even perspective that maybe TEAM Salmon is…….

For those of you out there looking for some direction, this is a great time of year to wonder. I will offer you this thought….Imagine, if you will, an azure-blue, free-flowing body of water not ten miles from our great Pacific Ocean. Imagine this ‘trout-sized’ body of water harnessing some of the most prized and sought after Salmonids in all of the World….now imagine this body of water in your backyard. Now imagine yourself hooking one. To accurately imitate this I would suggest tying some rope to the back of a moving VW…and holding on tight!

You’ve got the picture now, I’m sure. You’re standing in some of the finest angling country on the whole entire planet. Our Pacific Northwest Rivers and Streams are simply some of the best. Care to find out more? Wanna know how to catch these beasts? Do you know what kind of gear to use or where exactly to go?
