Any bright chum is still 100% better than farm raised salmon or steelhead. So they are not at the level of bright line caught Steelhead, Sockeye, Chinook or Silver...What is? Still pretty dang good if you ask me!
They fight good, show up in big numbered waves and they will hit just about anything bright or shinny. That makes them a hoot load of fun and worth the effort IMO. I've had more than one sixty+ fish days up on the Vedder. Throw in a couple monster Tyees' and salmon fishing doesn't get much more fun than that! Table fare is just the icing on the cake
