Evening salmon fishing along Scarborough waterfront

 The fading sunset colours and the increased leaping salmon was a wonderful setting for an evening fish along the Scarborough Bluffs waterfront.
I was casting and quickly retreIving a glowing spoon lure all around my area.
A jumping salmon could be seen SPLASHING every five minutes!
 I had a salmon suddenly grab my spoon and with a super heavy leap snap off the lure. It had enough force to open the metal snap! I re-tied a new snap swivel and added a new glow in the dark spoon.
About an hour later around 8 pm another salmon hit my spoon.
Peter scooped up the fish in a ladnding net and Chris held a flashlight high .
AFTER A GREAT 5 MINUTE FIGHT IT WAS LANDED!


The fish was bronze in colour and measured 32 inches. I guess around 10 pounds.

Opening is just large enough to place a hand inside and remove eggs.

Almost 42 inches!

Peter's super big fish before release back inro the lake.
He estimated that this chinook in it's prime in the summer would have weighed 35 plus pounds, or 12 kilos!
