I didn't fish much last Saturday and Sunday because I had my kids - who weren't interested. I got up early Friday and hit Alton for four hours before work and was rewarded for my efforts with a nice 20 inch salmon. I gave him a soft release (pics really stress the fish because somebody has to handle them for the nice shot), but i got this snap in the net:
I lorded it over my buddy Travis for a short while, then he found the sweet spot on the docs and pulled in a real HONKER:
The fish (one of the biggest I have ever seen for the spring run) measured 22 inches and 4.5 lbs, which makes it FAT.
Alton was packed Saturday and Sunday - I had my kids and didn't really fish. I did run over Monday in a driving hailstorm, with thunder cracking around my head and fished up in the river, where I got two, including this feller (Sorry the cam is shaky but I did the whole thing by myself with my own three hands):
Alton will peak by this weekend, then it will be over. Wolfeboro will see the action next.
