Went back to the Puke today from 8am-1pm, I went 3-6 today on all pinks. Saw the usual faces and usual coho chasers releasing all pinks. One of my pinks today was still chrome, guess they are still trickling it. My partner caught a chrome one as well

Towards the end of my trip today, things got very interesting. We all see a boat coming upstream real fast and everyone was like what the heck is going on. They beach the boat and dump a giant fish box on the beach. Then one guy does a ceremony where he put something in the river and looked up in the sky and said something on the lines of "mother earth". They push the boat back in the river and put thier nets in. The sporties on the beach just pulled thier lines in and watch, while one gentleman was screaming to kick the native's ass.

During thier first pass, they pulled up a huge long with tons of mono, hooks and corkies. At least they got that nasty snag out of the river. They make two more passes and they left on their way back downstream. I didnt get a good estimation of how many fish they took out, but I guess it was enough.
On one of thier passes, they boat was actually in between the line of guys in waders and the bank. Must of been scary having that boat behind ur back.
