I had to pick up some tile for my home in Ballard (near the fish ladder) and I thought I might as well take a look while I'm there. OMG! Last weekend there were a few more than usual Chinooks and today... PACKED!!! All these bruisers were running about 40" and above.

Salmon University (THE Salmon website) is calling this "the best king salmon fishing this area of Puget Sound has seen in Decades and Decades." In Wa we've got a quota for Chinook and it's going to run out fast with this surge in fish. So, I'll be out there everyday until it's done.  Oooooh the madness..

In the past, I remember a sealion munching on salmon at the fish ladder a few years back. Do you know if that is still a problem, Z ?
