I read an article once that reted chum salmon as the best eating salmon out there!The article originated on the east coast

I ran into a bach of chromer at the begining of the season and kept two.I smoked them up and brought them to chelan to give away to a few friends.They were actually very good,but,like I said you could hardly find a bar.

My experiances as a kid taught me there is a very fine line with those fish.I believe that the fact that they only use the lower few miles of a river to spawn atributes to there meat breaking down.It wasn't the flavor of those boots it was the texture that turned me away.

They are a blast to catch though!

Surecatch, I know a spot that should be doing just about that quality of fish right now!About eight miles or so down from the steelhead camp ground.
