Geez Blue, you’re killing me. But there may be hope, my buddy from 7th grade who got me started fishing probably 25 years ago texted me today and we’re going to the river Wednesday. He says a friend of his landed six Chinook yesterday in the Willamette River (it runs through Portland and into the Columbia) - anyway, we’re going to give it a shot. I’ll report if we have success.
His brother lives in Petersburg Alaska and he goes up every year to fish for a week - I may go with him this year.
My dad was born in Tatitlek, AK back in 1911 and he used to tell about the salmon runs so thick that you couldn’t get your oars in the water - what a time to live.
Sounds like a terrific honeymoon for the kids - even in Alaska, you’re not guaranteed anything like that kind of catch.
