From the reports I've been reading in the reports section it sounds like Rufus has been ON this winter.

One of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman."

17 on Friday, similar story, one good one @ 11lbs. fished near the dam, about 3-4 miles up from the laqnding. Was practically the only one out there. Where were you?
May you be blessed beyond count.

Not sure what a laqnding is, but it might be like a landing...

I would like to say "Walter" is over 20lbs...I do know that he is in there somewhere..It has been quite a while since I have seen 1 over 20lbs.

I'm not sure Walter is still out there right now. After the old net pens broke there were far too many small trips lost to the system for the food in there. I suspect that 10 to 15 pounds might be on the high side right now. Too bad trips don't live longer.

Also, far more fishermen are hitting RW then before, so that also impacts the system.

Still, with the new nets and new management, I look into my Crystal ball and see Walter in about 4 years. My story, I'm sticking with it.#-o
Too much water, so many fish, too little time.
