THE WEEKLY HATCHERY SCOOP
“Hmph. 860 puny salmon back to Cowlitz? Pathetic. Skamania’s got 463, Kalama Falls, a measly 306. Skookumchuck ain’t much better at 303. Back in my day, son, we wrestled salmon bigger than your entire hatchback. Hawking in his chair coulda caught more. These hatchery fish are soft.
Pro Tip: Learn to sniff out the wild ones. They taste better.
What’s Bitin’: Desperation, mostly.
Grandpa’s Grumble: This is why I mostly eat berries. At least they haven’t completely ruined those yet. Get off my lawn!
