Pinks are in..

Few in the sound already. Headin for the mouth of the rivers. Seen 3 caught on the 15th. Averaging pretty small though.
Early run it sounds like this year.

Are you goin' after them?  Always wanted to try that on a flyrod, never had the chance..
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I guess they are okay if smoked correctly.

Fresh from salt water, properly cleaned/iced = good pink

Been in river, coloring up = bad to really bad pink

Thanks for the update.  It is going to be a long run if it starts now in the salt and goes through Sept in the rivers.   :IBCOOL:  That's a lot of humpy.

Isn't it funny when everybody talks about pinks it's always the same answer "not bad smoked" Pinks dont really even flake when you cook them. I guess there fun to catch but annoying when your king or silver fishin and you keep hookib them damn things.

That's my plan as well. They are an absolute pain in the rear when fishing neah bay and a read an article two years ago saying to keep everyone you legally can because of how many there are anymore. I see no sense in even smoking them when there are chinook to be had.

I'll be chasing them, I think they are a blast to catch on light tackle. I eat them fresh out of the salt, and smoke a bunch also.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!
