Early Humpies?

Post by NimmunDay » Mon Jul 22, 2013 10:10 pm

I have a question, is it normal for humpies to be caught this early? I remember last season I didn't catch my first humpy of the season until Aug 23. Humpies already in the Skagit? Could this be the sign of a massive return?
Thank you! Come again! Image

I have checked the creel reports for my area from 2011. If they are early it is only a week.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
