I'm baaaack!!
Hello everyone and greetings from Control Central and your humble host, soon to be a major movie star.
But I digress.
NOTE: I mistakenly believed we wouldn't be able to keep a Chinook large enough to be a Tyee until August 1st. and said so in my original post.
I was wrong and have corrected myself elsewhere and now here. Sorry about the confusion and the Tyee Pool is now open for business.
Ah well, it's been some years since a Tyee was registered in July, so we're not missing much, most likely.
Optimism once again is strong as we've had another year of good pasture in the North Pacific so hopefully will have well fed and fat fish when they come home.
Recent reports of the huge Sockeye returns to Alaska indicate good feeding conditions offshore so if our salmon can avoid the Alaskan and northern BC troll fleets plus the much smaller catch numbers of the recreational/commercial lodges along the coast, we might have another good year.
As usual, there won't be much in the way of pool related fishing activities for the next couple of weeks, but I'll find reasons to stay involved here and keep you up-dated.
Remember that if you can come visit and go out with me to please let me know and I'll fit you in somehow, plus all my regular rod-holders can expect to hear from me the moment some fish show up.
Great to be back.
Take care.
