Last day of actual fishing, we’re all feeling a bit haggard but are up for it. The “honey hole” was a bit more crowded, but there were spots and the first line was wet at about 10:00 am. We fished both Roe sacks and lures as both were successful. We started cleaning fish and packing out at about 3:00 pm. This day we limited out, 30 fish for 5 of us!
Don’t know the final poundage per person coming home, but we estimate about 75 Lbs each.
The ratio of humpies to silvers caught and landed overall is around 10-1, but the Silvers, when hooked, fight like the dickens, running and peeling line like crazy as compared to the humpies. The only snafus we’re 2 broken rods today, mine being one of them. Stuff happens and no sense crying over spilt milk, especially since it was such a great trip!
Looking forward to returning home to family, dog and my own bed!

I have really enjoyed following your fishing trip. Salmon fishing is one of the best times a person can have. One thing I have learned about salmon fishing. If you do it long enough, you will break brake a rod or two. Congrats on having such a great trip.
