Chinook --- Thursday, October 29, 2009

The Chinook are running at Youngs River Falls.  I waded out to mid-stream and got some record quality photographs of the event.  Fish are really difficult subjects... Getting the Falls to pose was a little more straight forward, standing, as I was, in the middle of the river... UPDATE: My fish guy (Lee Cain) tells me (now that he's got a good look at the photos and made visit to the falls himself) that some of the fish are Chinook (Rogue River hatchery stock) and some are Coho (also probably hatchery stock).  None are genetic natives to the falls, but instead managed to get past the nets in Young Bay.
