Well, I heard of a winter-run caught out of a Skykomish tributary today and for the past two weeks, they are in the daily catch of the guides on Quinault and Salmon Rivers. And rumor has it a couple have been pulled out of the Bogachiel.
It is not uncommon to see 1 or 2 brats caught around Halloween but to have this many, is unusual and very very encouraging. Some people might contend that they could be late summer-runs but these fish are mint bright and Ive seen a couple pictures of them and they have that shorter caudual pedunctle (sp?) that is an easily determining factor between summers and winters.
Juro-
Are you planning on making a trip out this way this Spring?
