City Good Morning
Chinook (“king”) salmon are running through Elliott Bay at this moment, from the ocean on their way to spawn in the Green River and its tributaries. I’m not a fisherman, but nothing delivers the spirit of this city like fighting a delicious, shiny monster as the sun rises behind the skyline.
Inner Elliott Bay is open for kings Friday through Sunday until August 20. The bite seems to be hottest right at dawn (yawn).
(For the fish nerds: green splatter hotspot, glow/cop-car hoochie, 42-inch leader at 75 feet deep, 5:45 am, near Todd)
You are so a fish nerd.
