25 hooks later ?? That sucks. is it normal to lose so many? If it is, it is a shame that there are that many hooks in the inlet. Maybe get some tougher line or something.

Lame

I want to try snagging this year but if this is the norm then I will have to pass.

Enjoy the good eatin guys.

Due to the water being so shallow this year more snags than usual are expected. Lots of boulders and trees in the water where the fish will be spawning. Good news is a lot of ppl (like me) walk the inlet after it gets more shallow and pick up and polish the hooks for next season.

Also agree about the meat. Was very nice and pink. I'm getting much better at the filets also. Got all 6 off perfect with no skin (well very little).

I went back up on Friday and it was super slow still. However, about 7PM they were hoping out everywhere.... go figure. Most of my luck has been right after lunch time when the other people leave. And I know I've said this 100 times but please use heavy braid and not that cheap junk mono. I swear I lost more hooks on other peoples broken walmart line than actual snags. I use 20lb braid and if you tie a double clinch not with a square knot above it, it will break off at the hook and not leave 20ft of line in the water and I can still almost bend the hook before the knot breaks. Friday I saw 1 salmon pulled that was red and hook billed so maybe 2 more weeks to be fired up good.

And in response to tonar, I lose so many hooks because the area I fish is rather shallow with lots of boulders but I get more hits there and less people. If it puts your mind at ease there are a lot of us that go back after and before season in waders and pick up all these hooks and polish them up for next year and I usually spend about 30 mins picking up garbage and hooks every time I go out there.

fish the inlet. You'll see the other 50 ppl... I'm taking my fiance up to stay at the melody cabins for the weekend and hopefully get her a first salmon snag. I'll give an update after I get back Sunday.

Was slow but we got 3 HUGE males. Red and hook billed. Very few ppl caught anything all day.
