I made it to my usual spot at 0800. There was a guy fishing just downstream that I saw had one male humpy. I got set up and first cast... Fish on! He looked surprised and all I said was "when you're lucky, you don't have to be good." It was a nice hen pink. Cast after next, another pink, this time a male that was released. The guy's wife told her husband he better switch to what I was using. I lost a half dozen more before he left. The great part was that no matter how many times I tried to make conversation this guy ignored me. I couldn't believe it, but I guess the fish spoke for themselves.

I left at 1000 with my limit of pinks, having released 5 and lost at least 15. Tomorrow I'm going to try some different tactics on advice from fellow WAlakers to try to get a silver or two.
