Fishin the sky lately and Ive been having some really good outings. With the pinks its all about finesse and timing the bite. I caught 13 Friday in 3 hours and 8 today (24th) when nobody else around me was catching. They were getting very frustrated and one guy even came halfway down the river bank and stood almost right next to me. I don't mind sharing some info and helping you out, but come on! He took the tail end of my drift away, so I caught a couple more right in front of him and left. Releasing all males and only keeping the brightest of hens. Lots of people out their this weekend! Smoking fish as I post :) In the 4 fish pic, I thought all were hens, the two on the left were actually males. The single pic is a BIG hen I caught today. Tight lines.

I'm pretty sure you got yourself a silver on the right there. Very nice.

Definitely not a silver. Look at the tail. See the spots on the entire tail? Silvers do not have that. They have some spots on half the tail. I think the upper half.

Nice catch !!!

Nate, I thought the same thing at first...but when I rubbed the skin no scales were coming off. Super bright fish, it had 5 sea lice near the tail.

I'm sorry to ask this but I was reading the regs and I thought the Sky was closed until the 1st? Did I read it wrong cause that's where I usually fish and would like to fish there if I missed read it.
