I don't fish for the salmon once they enter the river, but do enjoy watching the show, and listening to the banter at the town pool.They have their own language ;sayings,adjectives, and instructions, to keep other people from casting over the line of someone fighting a fish. Very entertaining.

Here are some of the words and phrases I heard over and over at the town pool when someone hooked up.

Fish On! - Fish Off - FIIIISH !- Going up !- Waaay up! going across!- In the middle - along the wall!- under the bridge!- Right in the mouth! - Screamer !- Going Down !- Waaay Down!- No helpers !- First Timer, Give him room!- Jumper!- Tail Hook - Belly hook- Good hook !- NET !- Yell louder, never heard you - Lots of cursing too !

No I did not see the fight, but I figured there might be one with all the different personalities fishing side by side on the river.

Please let me know where you bought those waders...would love to get a pair for my granddaughter!

I would like to order one of those hats for her, that your wife made too!

Went up there with a buddy about 30 years ago.  Told him on the way home that I was glad I went and it was quite an experience but I didn't need to do it again.

Good one, and thanks Bruce reeleyz. You just made me think about the guy that screams Fish On ! then sheepishly whispers "rock" as he tries to unsnag his rig from the bottom.

Steve, I remember a group of southern guys encircling a pool of a smallish trib one spring. It was full of suckers and they caught many of them. One guy, every time a sucker pulled down his big bobber would yell,"Ah thank thisun's a TRAY-OUT!"

Great posts, love the crosswalk picture!  While most of us consider that type of "fishing" total BS, I agree that it really is fun to spend a few hours watching the clowns who feel they've really honed their skills at this.  A Walmart surfcasting pole and half of a brain is all it takes to fill your freezer with foul, spent Chinook fillets!

I fish there sometimes put I use plugs or eggs. yes salmon do bite. I am in there before light and leave about 830-900 when all the late snaggers come then im out go get in my kayak and fish the marshes where the snaggers cant go

Some of you guys are really funny. All season long you're all excited about someone bringing a newb onto the lake saying we need more fisherman.

Once a group is on land they're all snaggers and want to be's.

Not everyone has the opportunity to fish from a boat in the lake. I applaud them for getting out and enjoying what the love doing even when they have to fight the crowds to do do so.
