Next time maybe leave the spawner in the river. You can still take a picture with it in the water and you wont be breaking any laws.

OK, so I don't fish rivers that often, or at least I don't fish rivers for salmon. Last summer I had a couple of really cool days on a river that is very well known to those of us in King County, but I was fishing it at the VERY beginnings of the stream, high in the alpine forest, like oxygen tanks, etc. I was fly fishing on a 5 wt. Here is a couple of postings of the 1st few videos I made with the GoPro.
My videos need some refining/edit adjustments, but you can see it was beautiful surroundings, and SHWEET fish!
All fish were released. These are native cutthroat. No salmon types go up this high.
I admit in the second video there was one fish that had a difficult release, but he did swim away happily. Also, these were my 1st self made vids, so the 2nd one kind of drags on, but at least the music is worthy.
One last disclaimer.... One of the vids has a dang water drop on the GoPro lens. Lesson learned, do a quick wipe of lens on shirt before firing up camera.
