Nice work on that log jam FF!!!
I wish I could see the tail on that fish in question. Do you have any other shots?
2 outfits! One set of waders for the fishhawk hat and a second pair too! Neoprene waders. Nice.
I love the colors of the little brown. Browns are my favorite! Have I mentioned that before!!?
Thanks for sharing these great pictures!

GREAT WEEKEND!!! could not have asked for better.....
great weather, great people, bro beside me and most of all the fishin was what dreams are made out of.
I would go up every single day if I could. Although I do not think my body can handle it ( not what it used to be lol ) That second chinook with the dark background was not the biggest fish of the weekend but he was the strongest fish I have ever fought, took me about 75 mins to bring it in

and a record 10 jumps throughout

and near about pulled my arms off. Thank god it was the last fish of the weekend lol The first being that cow of a brown and thank god for FF landing it for me as it was heading straight back to the big water and had a little over half my spool of line with me running behind it all the way LOL
A couple of really smokin fish were caught with FF's beauty silver "coho or bow ( hard to tell on this one ) " and the colour on the brown were an awsome sight
The clean up was a blast. Great bunch of lads and I am glad I could give back to the fisheries as I have gotten so much out of fishing over the years. I even managed to fall in only to be outdone by FF fallin in 5 times LOL

...wish I had the camera handy for those ones
I hope everyone had as good a weekend as we did and hope you all have the oportunity to make it up to the tribz sometime for some great action. If we can help make it happen, do not hesitate to drop either of us a PM
As for FF being upset about the pic of him sleeping, I could not resist. He was signing along in his sleep to the tunes I was playing on the way up but did not hear a peep on the way back LOL. Doesn't he look so cozy
Cheers
Chrome
P.S. Markus, no more shots of the silver but the tail had spots throughout which say bow but hmmmmmm

Were the spots in neat rows or just peppered all over? Not unusual for a bow to be up this early, but rare.

FF & Chrome,
Wow, guys...
WOW. What awesome, exciting pictures. The fish are just incredible!!
You had a
blast, by the looks and sound of it, and I'm glad for you both. I know how this kind of fishing is your real passion in the sport.
Sorry we won't get to see any of those pic's when FF dunked 5 times, Chrome. I was looking forward to his wet T-shirt pic's again.
Excellent job on the clean up, guys. The pic of all you fellows together on the log reminds me of those "old days" shots with all the fishermen lined up. Frame worthy, for sure.

Markus, This fish has me boggeled!!!I had to people across the trib(the area was quite narrow)saying the fish if it had spota on the top half of the tail it was a Coho, then I said the spots are right down(I mean all across the tail from top to bottom), which in turn made it seem like a bow???But for the spots,Peppered, ya kind of but more like a line of spots per kink in the tail.Lots of spots yes, but the gums were right white?????And also the bottom of the kype(Sry looks like a female but may be a male b4 spawn)had 3 large white teeth out of the gum which makes me think Coho, for Ive never seen a bow with such thick and close together teeth???
Still I wont put this fish in the derby till I am sure??
T.L F.F
P.S TY for all the kind words on the post!!!
And Happy B-Day Wolfe!!!!!!!Great shot and congrats on the tiger!!!!!!!!!!

Markus, for the waders I have always had a spare set for the("Just incase)
But the 2nd pair was much needed for the spills I had in the Shwa
But also it doesnt hurt to have a spare pair for Chrome has 2 pairs aswell, fo the posabillity of takin someone who has never fished these conditions b4 and offer them a great time with minimal gear needed, for a spare noodle rod, waders, and gear are always at the helm for anyone who wishes to join a day or weekend trip!!!!
Hopin to see what the fish was

Great pictures FloatFishin !!
Also good to see some work being done to improve our rivers. Now if that isn't an advertisement for some great hard working guys putting something back into the sport then i don't know what is... It's hard to get people to volunteer to do work and to give up 3 hours and to get stuck in and help is very commendable.
Great work and great fishing.. everyone involved should be proud !
