They’re the talk of the fishing community; we mentioned them last week, and now we have photos: WSB contributing photojournalist Matt Durham sends photos of some of the 5 million pink salmon that have been swarming the area, many leaping from the water as they go. That photo’s from the eastern Duwamish Waterway, as is this one:
Separate from catching the pink salmon on camera in the Duwamish yesterday – where fishing’s not allowed (check the rules here) – Matt and son Jack fished Lincoln Park, where the younger member of the duo made this milestone catch:
Matt explains:
Sunday Jack Durham, age 10, landed his first salmon, a 7-pound pink salmon. Jack has worked the shores of Lincoln Park for 6 years, casting everything from Kastmasters to plugs and finally hooked this fish on a pink spoon. Lincoln Park has been a shoulder-to-shoulder fishing experience the last three weeks. Fishing can be absolutely hot with nearly every angler hooking a salmon; an hour later the bite dries to nothing. The favored lure is a pink buzzbomb.
