About 20 years ago I used to live about a half a mile up the road from the spot shown in the pictures. I have actually fished with the crowds even though back then it wasn't quite as bad. You know it can be fun. Most of those guys down there are very friendly. They will take time to show a newcomer how to fish in those conditions, give you gear if you need it and offer advice/tips feerly. Generally a fun group with a lot of good hearted banter being tossed about. When they saw me with my camera many thought I was from a newspaper or something and asked for copies of the pictures. Some asked who I worked for, I jokingly yelled back, "RiverRight Photography but in this case I think I might called it RiverWrong." That was met with a roar of laughter from many of the fihsermen. Not my thing anymore but it is fun to go down to the Samish River when the chinook are running and watch the show.
