Not one for typing up reports but here's another one anyways.

Went out for one of our last trips out to the Chuck this season. Got to the river around 9 PM fished jigs with shrimp down stream from the salmon hatchery in all those holes with not much success. Ended there around noon. Didn't have the energy to walk the fields so we headed up past the gate and found a nice slot with fish and I ended the day going 7 -2 up there on white or pink beads (A couple random ones are pictured here). Fish were aggressive taking the beads deep all fish were caught and released. Two natives and five hatchery fish to the bank total had to work for them but did alright. Lost 2 fish that went 15+ . Wasn't the best day, the fish are getting old but no mold on any of the fish i tangled with. It was worth the drive. Left the river around 4:30 PM.
Tight lines, get you some!

Nice job! It's good to see fish are still in the system and cooperating with you. 7 fish? That's a great day by any river's standards!!

Do I even dare ask why you want to hide the bank there? I have a feeling its not to hide the location as the area up there is no secret.

Jealous? Hardly... the secrecy leads me to believe that you are trying to hide something fishy, like maybe a few extra fins on the bank. Correct me if I'm wrong but there aren't too many other reasons I can think of as to why you would blur that out.

Dude, your something else, Couldnt be more wrong. Not because i have to but i will list the reasons why i took the time to paint a pretty picture.
1. The Skookumchuck is trashed.
2. The Skookumchuck is trashed.
3. The Skookumchuck is trashed.
4. I'm not gonna hand out information.
I'm not sure why you think you know this spot because i garrentee you don't. It looks exactly like atleast two other places i fish up there plus that area nobody would tie up there "extra fins" so that sorta throws out your golden idea. I'm almost positive i wrote up that all fish were released (Gonna have to take my word for it).. Unless you were next to me yesterday you dont know but can continue to guess. (Not the deadline although looks similar). You can excuse yourself from this report, Pm me if you feel the need. Tight lines
