Personally, the quality of the fishing this year has been superior. All I’m catching is 4 and 5 year olds and definitely the largest salmon I’ve ever taken.

Since I already rented my house for the weekend...I’m still fishing that entire
Weekend. The fishing should be better than it is during a derby year with less boats on the water. Now if this wind would only die down so I can get out a few more times before mid May...
Agree on the 5 year old salmon. They are absolutely beautiful! The days of catching double digit salmon will be gone for a while but if you put your time in, the fish you do catch are beautiful.

In 2-3 years Winni will be a fantastic fishery!
