Area 9 Salmon Fishing

With the best weather we have had since area 9 opened the middle of last month there was a fair number of individuals out salmon fishing over the weekend. the reports that we have had were not outstanding by any means but at least there were a few fish caught. The vaste majority of the fish were sub legals or just barely over the 22 inch mark. We did hear of a few nice fish that were in the lower teens but were few and far between. In talking with the more successful anglers that did manage to land larger fish it was overwhelming that plugs accounted for the greater number of the better fish. Light colored, glow in the dark finishes such as Silver Horde 60, 61or 62 or Tomic 600. 602 or 603 dig the job. The Possession Bar area produced as well as anywhere with the reports out of Port Townsend's Mid Channel Bank being disappointing.
