You should try it more often. Some of my ideas aren't too bad.MikeDamone said:I don’t normally agree with ChuckHIV, but he’s right here re:whitefish.
Disagree on that Coho are marginally good eating unless you’re a total fuck up at cooking.
1. Spring chinook
2. Sockeye
3. Summer chinook
4. Summer steelhead
5. Fall bright chinook
6. Coho
7. Pink (only very close to saltwater)
8. Winter steelhead
I think that's how I'd rank them for eating quality on the columbia. I exaggerated before. A nice fresh coho is still good and maybe should be #5. It just doesn't measure up to the best in my opinion. -
I’ve always felt like every things is a distant 2nd to good King salmon. Copper River sockeye ain’t shit compared to the best king with all its fatty goodness.chuck said:

The prime rib of fish. -
If we're going to snob out, spring Chinook is the only fish on that list to talk about. They're so far superior to everything else on the list, that the others could be listed together. Except humpies and chums - I just won't talk to people that would eat them.
I used to catch a fair number of springers every year. Now I'm lucky to scratch out a fish or two. I'll eat salmon for days in a row when I catch a springer though, and I don't even like salmon or trout that much.

I think chuck's drunk or needs to catch more b-run coho on the peninsula. They aren't soft fighters - well, they can be, but that's not their reputation anywhere I've been.

Fuck perch.
Coho (silvers) are soft fighting, marginally decent eating, and have lockjaw 99% of the time. They're trash fish everywhere south of British Columbia in my book. I wish I never had to see one again. I'd rather go nymphing for whitefish than waste my time targeting them.
Rugged? You can find coho in every little trickle of a creek way the fuck out in the middle of the woods because they bust their asses up every creek and stream that will hold them.
I'm an oncorhynchus guy. What the hell is a prosopium? Fish with a stupid face?
Fly guys. They just talk crazy sometimes.
I’ve been having the most fun in the past few years catching Kokanee.

Summer chinook can be hard to distinguish from springers. They get bigger and can eat about the same. Rare to come by unless you buy from a native though. The Klick has some. They're really just spring/fall hybrids, or sprummers.
I love sockeye too, even in the columbia. It's not greasy like springer but the taste and texture are still amazing. -

Ive spent a lot of time on the Lewis above Swift, but not much below at all. I have been to the main spawning trib once when the kokanee were in. That's really cool. There must have been a million of them in there...miniature sockeye in full spawning colors and doing their thing.MikeDamone said:

I think chuck's drunk or needs to catch more b-run coho on the peninsula. They aren't soft fighters - well, they can be, but that's not their reputation anywhere I've been. A fresh buck coho is an excellent eating fish, and coho are only lockjawed until the water cools and gets moving, then they destroy anything you put in front of them, with only occasional periods of lockjaw. I've eaten whitefish a number of times - it doesn't compare to saltwater-caught or late-season coho, IMO.chuck said:
Perch are imvasive water rodents and live in warm cesspools. Whitefish are rugged, respectably large, and live in cold, swift mountain rivers, side by side and in harmony with those fish you named. The hate makes no sense.PurpleThrobber said:Those are bitch ass perch. Worthless.
Fuck perch.
Coho (silvers) are soft fighting, marginally decent eating, and have lockjaw 99% of the time. They're trash fish everywhere south of British Columbia in my book. I wish I never had to see one again. I'd rather go nymphing for whitefish than waste my time targeting them.
Rugged? You can find coho in every little trickle of a creek way the fuck out in the middle of the woods because they bust their asses up every creek and stream that will hold them.
I'm an oncorhynchus guy. What the hell is a prosopium? Fish with a stupid face?
Fly guys. They just talk crazy sometimes.
I’ve been having the most fun in the past few years catching Kokanee.
Fishing is boring.
Kokes - ILTCTK - are tasty little buggers. Where do you do your kokanee fishing?MikeDamone said:

Kokanee and winter blackmouth are both things I'd like to get dialed in better. -

That's a serious load. I need to figure that out. Maybe this year. I have a friend who keeps a cabin and boat on Merwin.dflea said: -
I bet if we bribed Damone with a bottle of good scotch and blew a bunch of air up his skirt, we could get him to dial us in. Or maybe not. He probably doesn't want anyone fagging out his zone.chuck said:

You're risking another downvote storm just by bringing up the idea.dflea said:

I read somewhere that they can be caught jigging, which I think would be a little more fun than dragging around trolling rigs. I don't know if that's only done in certain lakes or a certain time of year. Maybe it's just a matter of finding fish trolling and then sitting on them.
If the Columbia is a bust again for me this year I need to find a close by alternative.
