Description

Went off Island a couple weeks ago to take pictures. It poured down of course. That's what it does in the fall in the Pacific Northwest lol. Came along this river with all these fishermen out in it fishing for King Salmon. I had my husband find a place to park so I could pop out and get a few shot's, tried to keep my lens dry but I was sopping wet by time I got back to the truck. But talk to a guy who had his beautiful catch of the day, one very large king salmon..We eat a lot of salmon, it's one of our favorite fish. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for dropping in..Take care:0)bonita

I almost live on salmon but with salmon disappearing around here, the price has gone up and the availibility has plummetted. I now eat more talapia and trout. This looks like great fun and its a fine capture as well.

Excellent shot of one of my favorite passtimes (at least I think about doing it a lot). It does look wet, wet but that's the payment for green, green :-) Bill

Superb capture of these fishermen on the look-out for a dying (slowly but surely, alas) species.

What a beautiful capture! The different colors of the reeds and other growth are lovely, as is the texture of the wet sand. Great work!

Excellent shot. I was stationed in Alaska at King Salmon AFS, a radar site. We fished for Kings, Pinks and a lot of other fish. It was paradise for the fisherman, I caught a 10lb Lake Trout and thought I had a record until the game warden informed me that the state record, at the time, was 31lbs. While fishing off the dock of the small trading post / bar one day during the King run, I caught 2 and it took me about 4 hours. One was 44lbs and the other was 57lbs. We ate salmon at the site for several weeks, baked, smoked and grilled. Damn that was fun...... Thanks for reminding me.
