Title: My Salmon confession
Post by: Moose22 on March 29, 2012, 08:29:19 PM: Just received my WDFW reminder to return my punch card. I moved from the Olympic Peninsula to Colville in July so I did not fish for salmon this year. So, I pulled out my punch card to see what I had on it. Ouch!!!!! One spinger for the year. This will be my first year in 33 that I am not sending in a full, second, or nearly full card.

I am sorry for my sins, please forgive me my fishing friends.

So that may make up for your lack of fish, somewhat.

My only salmon trips anymore are during elk muzzy season on the OP. I just cant fish for them over on the east side. I like them with sea lice.
