Skykomish River, WA (Pink Salmon)

I finally got a drift boat and this would be the maiden voyage. The plan was to put in at Ben Howard and float down to town but we made it only a few hundred yards. Not because anything went wrong but because everything went right. Right after pushing off into the water Paul hooked up onto the first fish that he broke off under the boat. We anchored up and fished there catching several fish. We would move down river maybe 50 yds at a time until we came to a nice tree and I lost count of how many fish we caught.
