Yes, you read that correctly. I found my first salmon right here in Colorado. For those that don't know, we have Kokanee here in Colorado (landlocked and smaller version of Sockeye apparently). I found those along with a lot of very nice trout in my journeys this past weekend. I'll have many more details coming soon once I get some time. Here is a closeup of the salmon until then.
Fantastic! Beautiful looking fish. congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIf it has to be a first, it might as well be a dandy and it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark! I was pretty happy with that fish...
DeleteImpressive, David! Look forward to the rest of the story when you get a minute.

ReplyDeleteCongrats---looking forward to the rest of the story!! thanks for sharing
Thanks Bill!
DeleteSweet man! I have read about the kokanee salmon in CO many times, glad you got out and found one. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Travis! Next time you are out this way this time of year I'll tell you were to go...
DeleteDavid, save them they're wonderful smoked!!
ReplyDeleteHoward, it's funny but I actually thought about bringing some back to give to people. I don't eat salmon but know a lot of people who would have enjoyed it...perhaps I should add you to that list for when I do.
DeleteI saw some kokes the other day. That's a good one. Look for browns when they get in the river!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The browns are just starting to filter in it seems.
DeleteGorgeous fish! Congrats buddy....
