Dreaming of Fall Chinook

The recent forecast for a record Fall Chinook run has been working on my imagination.  Welcome to my madness.

Cool video...

All the forecasted numbers I've seen for the fall run are staggering...   ...Awesome!

Nice video Spot.  Loved it.  I too am dreaming of Fall Chinook, but I am not picky and would welcome a coho or two.

Love the shots of the rod going off!  great video.

You're so cute when you're sleeping

Nice vid,sir! YEAH...love the pole in the holster goin off! Hope youre having a fall seminar this year.

   Inspiring video Spot,


  Bring on them salmons...

Awwww Yesss!!

So I've been wondering, with the large prediction of incoming; does that mean the odds of catching in the ocean will be drastically higher as well? Or are the catch rates the main predictor and because ocean fisherman have been doing well, statistians(sp?) are predicting a massive run?

Oh and thanks for stoking the fire with the vid.

That's what I was dreamin !!!!

HA HA Awesome!

Great video Spot.  With the Columbia open you can start making your dreams a reality. 

Great video!  I agree with dberd, anybody in the Seattle area thinking of some seminars?

Targeting salmon in the ocean should be a very good idea this year given the predictions.  I think I read that they are predicting these numbers based on "favorable ocean conditions" and the fact that they think there should be a higher number of 4 salt fish returning, since last year saw a high number of 3 salt fish.  As you can imagine, that means the average fish should be bigger for this run. 

I've been hearing the same thing Rawkfish...
More! + Bigger! = AWESOME!!

Thanks guys!  This is what happens when I sit home nursing a nasty cold all weekend.

As rawky said, targeting these fish in the salt is a very good idea.  Even the Tules cut nice when you catch em in the salt.  Expect to see them showing up in the nearshore ocean by the beginning of June.
