thanks for correcting the first 2 pics Gord

Maybe you should be here earlier as this is a very solid run of decent size spring salmon..

should be fine as long as weather/water temps don't go up too fast

Well, we just had to get that beauty brown of yours right

ya, was hectic now and then. I prefer 1 fish at a time, not triple headers ha ha ha, but we cannot complain about that

Now you know why I like 3 guys on the boat
