7 Albertans came West for one last fish before the doldrums of Winter set in, Many salmon of all species were hooked and of the 5 Chinook salmon hooked between the group it was kyle who managed to put the beast to the beach. An incredible fish and on an 8wt single hand no less. The poor nine and a half footer groaned under the strain as kyle tested not only the strength of leaders and knots but of the rod its self. As you can see everything held and there was nothing left but to "Grip and Grin".  

 

 

 

 

 Well Done Kyle......NICE FISH!!!!!!

You can see some of the Chum salmon the boys landed in the "ode to Chum" post made earlier.

Thank you to my friends from Alberta I look forward to seeing you again next year.
