opening day for salmon in 2023

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

At 05:30, we hit the water at high tide and headed to the shore off the south end of Quadra island.

The weather was perfect, the company was outstanding, and I caught both a Chinook and a Coho (which was wild and had to go back). I also had a number of fish get off the hook and had a line break(!) on a huge fish that would easily have been the largest I've caught. I actually prefer mid-sized fish (like the Coho, and also Mackerel) but it was amazing to see.

It was a great day.
