Jay & I arrived around 10 a.m. after dealing with the traffic jam. I made one cast, had a hit, made another, another hit and on the 3rd cast landed a typical 10-11" cutt on my usual #8 Olive Clousers. I thought we were in for another totally hot day. About 10 casts later I had a huge take and was into a silver. This fish was different from the reel screamer I had on Tuesday and I managed to land him, a nice 20-22" coho. This was my first salmon in salt water that I managed to land so that in itself made my day. I ended up with a few more cutts including one nice chunky 16" fish (maybe the one Leland caught yesterday). Jay got a few cutts on his clousers and then also latched into a nice silver. Lots of short strikes today and Jay had a lot of slashes after his gurgler on top but none would actually take it. We saw a few salmon roll on the surface where we were at besides the fish we caught.

One of the guys from The Morning Hatch hit a nice four pound silver. Another flyfisher, who was on the beach yesterday, did as bad as me. Otherwise, there were only the five of us fishing Sodo (south of Doc's?). I'll leave it to Tim Harris to post his report, which is quite a bit different than mine. He and his friend, Jay did OK. Oh, one other thing, due to the enormous traffic jam on south I-5 (when is there never one?), where the DOT closed three lanes near the Tacoma Dome, I was able to travel through parts of the Tacoma waterfront and Ruston one never gets to see like the little teeny tiny tunnel under the Asarco superfund site and the hundreds of boats trolling the creamy white water of the Puyallup in Commencement Bay.
