old warriors, isn't that the truth. I often land a chinook and wonder all the obstacles it overcame to get all the way up to the end of their journey. From the sea lions, to the commercial nets, to the tribal nets, past hundreds of other anglers baits, through many of fish ladders, all to finally gulp my bait. Pretty amazing. Nice pics!

Thanks Guys. Isn't that the truth Mt.Muley. I missed a good shot because it happened too fast. An osprey swooped down and snagged a smaller one. Swam all that way and arrived to the spawning area and BOOM.

Great captures Bone. You don't see too many "live fish" pictures! I'm sure it's not as easy as you make it look?

ya have to have a lot of respect for a salmon. All of the miles and obsticles they go through to spawn, then you get a jack ass who most likely cant catch fish snag them out there spawning bed. I have seen it many times on the klick and have nearly got into a couple of fights over it. Then the dumb*censored*s take them home because they will smoke good. Give me a break.

Thanks! They were hard to capture. I took a bunch and all it is are a fish under water. Not "real" interesting. I need one of those rapids where they are leaping out of th ewater. I enjoyed watching them, but not real photographable.

Great pics.

Cool stuff, Doug! Looks like you found a nice shallow area where they have to expose themselves. Did you have to wait for a while at this spot until they came along, or did you spot them there and just stalk up on 'em?

Thanks guys.

They are there every year I guess Tom. I just found out about it this year. I went after I read a small tidbit in the paper and decided to check it out. There were a couple dozen reds and probably about 50 fish total up and down stream. I think they get halted there from a damn upstream. There was a bunch of school kids there upstream so I tried to stay out of their way. The water is a bit deep. I was hopeing to get them moving up through some rapids, but they are at the end of their journey. If you want th ecoordinates, le tme know. Supposedly they are there Sept through October. Its hard to capture anything other than fish under water though. I didn't get a chance to go shoot the westside at all. Canada would be good right now for "Springers" (thats what they call them

) and chums. THat run peaks about October 12th-20th. Usually a few coho but they stick to the pools, chums are very visual, kings...so so Nice thing about it, the canadian despise chum, so lots of open water to photograph or fish.

I'm just getting caught up on the photo threads. I love that first shot. Great capture and screams Washington. LOL hope it wasn't an Idaho photo.

This is why I love living on water, I live on a creek that there is a salmon hatchery on that my school's senior biology class runs. I love watching the salmon come up. Saw a nice sized one yesterday that must have just spawned, it was just going around slowly in a pool, and laying there in the bottom. Amazing, everything they go through. Pisses me off when people go and ruin it, I remember a few years ago kids with paintball guns shooting them from above standing on bridges, or saw one kid pull on out of the creek last week, I didn't say anything because I was with my Cross Country team running, and the kids are known pot smokers who would litteraly pull a knife on you, but I was PISSED. Anyway, sorry to vent, great pics bone! They are awesome fish, and I love listening to them at night!
