Only problem is, now that she lost one, she wants to catch one even more now...

That doesn't sound like a problem to me.

STIKNSTRINGBOW great pictures and a very good write up. Bridget did a great job of fighting the fish and I'm so thankful that I didn't knock it off with the net.
It  was pleasure having the two of you aboard was enjoyable I just wish there had been more chances.

Considering I don't get much Salmon opportunity, it is kind of a problem.
 But who knows? we might get another chance sometime...

Lots of non-combat places to fish and catch fish.  I hate combat fishing with a passion.

Kind of a hint for another nice person to give us a chance.  :chuckle:

A framed print of that one with the salmon in the air would make a neat gift for your daughter.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

That failed net attempt would make a good one also, look close and you can see the wobblier in his mouth.
StringBow got a couple great shoots.

Thegeneral, what a great offer and trip you provided...  These are the HuntWa stories I love to see.  Great pics, great write up and awesome experience for the young lady to get a chance to fish Kings on the Columbia!!

I have an open seat for either sat or Sunday.  Which ever one works better for you stickstringbow.  It will be bouy 10 fishing out of chinook wa.  My boat is the water and waiting to go.  I'm fishing with my two daughters 7 and 9 years old but have plenty of room for the two of you.  I will take care of all expenses and leaving the dock by 530 am both days.
