Slip Sliding Away

Just looking back at some of the fish from last fall on the Trinity and thought this one one was pretty cool. Had to catch this Silver twice and lost my cell phone to the river trying to corral it. Memories

That is a very special photo....that is what a fresh salmon looks like.

The fish literally lights up like a jewel. Very pretty fish and picture.

Hi MSP,

I know you've caught a lot more of those on a fly than me, but I'm pretty sure that is a king. big spots; black mouth, etc.

I grew up commercial fishing for salmon and have a decent eye at it.

then again, it's possible that i am wrong as I was not there.

adios!

oh yeah,

that is a really beautiful photo and they don't get much brighter than that.

Justin, you very well could be correct. I didn't do much in the way of identifying the fish when I got it. It just looked a lot like the Silvers I got later on, my mistake. Good eye!

Great pic Mike. That is one hell of a chrome salmon! Looking forward to this fall?
