It's kind of a freshwater topic but deals with salmon so I'll put it here.
Talking with a friend of mine who's an experienced and knowledgable angler earlier today. He tells me he was fishing in the lake (Mabel)with a buddy 4 weeks ago and the guy hooks and lands a 12lb chinook. Maybe? It seems awful early to me. We live in the Okanagan at the end of the Shuswap River. Typically they show up in early July. Caught one trout fishing in mid June about ten years ago but early April? Had a hatchery guy tell me one time that there's chinook in the River 9 mos of the year but I didn't believe it. Could that be true?
