Pink humpies...

[bennybooboo]

Has anybody been catching the pink salmon yet?  I heard they were starting to run up the rivers, just curious which ones.  And for that matter, when they'll start getting a bit up-stream.

early-mid august on the "S" rivers. i haven't heard of any yet and the sky was almost void of fishermen the other day. if the humpies were there at all, they'd be fishing by the hundreds.

What are you guys doing with them when you catch one?

Total dog food IMO.

Little early yet.

I catch them out in the salt and they're great for smoking and canning.

I used to give mine to some Indians so there dogs would have enough food.  They would freeze them in a chest freezer and just get one out every day for the dogs

i always put them back...i ate some out of the salt 1 time and it was ok, but they're just fun to catch for me, i enjoy catching them on the fly rod.

I always through them back.  However, I did keep a couple 2 years ago and smoked them up for the heck of it.  They weren't too bad.  Fun fish to catch on light tackle.

---Good crab bait!

Same thing as several above, catch and release only....  But fun as heck on a 6# fly rod...

i dont know about you guys but im gonna catch as many as allowed and put them in front of my camera.....

I fileted one and seared it and it wasnt all that bad.  Im not from here so I guess I dont have the adverse taste for them yet.

When I was growing up my friends and I would have humpie tournaments almost every day in AK.. there were some days I landed 200+ fish mostly just kicked them loose.  I was just wondering if they were considered table fish in washington
