Jay Nicholas’ Salmon Fisher’s Journal: Late October 2010 Images
It’s October, and we have us some Chinook salmon flies. Yes we do.
Pasture the Jet sled. Unleash the Pram.
No fly rod? No problem. All one needs is a fly reel and a little cork to bite-down on.
What discovery will this new day reveal?
Hot. Thirsty. No fish. No grabs. Focus.
A fancy fly reel left in the grass was still there next morning.
Sea Run Cutthroat – the fish we couldn’t catch when we were trying.
Often, only our shadow is there to share our thoughts.
We do have our favorite flies to fish.
Chum salmon: beautiful ssurprise.
One last cast, maybe.

oh, that’s nice stuff! suprising number of folks fighting kings with their teeth this year. it’s catching on, i guess.
Next challenge – no rod and no reel – hand line fly fishing for kings. Bet we know exactly where to stand and make the cast. What tippet shall we use? JN
Jay – wll have to make sure you get your trip up the Skagit next year. – Mitch
Mitch: Yeah man. It needs to be a several day trip to enjoy our time together and to start to see the beauty and character of the great Skagit. Let’s plan, JN
Great shots Jay…. that cutty was a nice looking fish! Take care..
Jay, that has to be one of the most beautiful sea run cutts I’ve ever seen. Perfect.
