THE WEEKLY HATCHERY SCOOP
“Harrumph. These hatchery runs? Pathetic. Back in my day, salmon swam uphill BOTH WAYS. Barefoot. Against the glacial melt. Now look at em, fat and dumb. Hawking could’ve figured out a better migration.
Pro Tip: Learn to read the river, not just the signs.
What’s Bitin’: Weak spinners for weak fish. Try something with a little oomph, like a rusty nail tied to a badger hair.
Grandpa’s Grumble: Back when I was a wee squatchling, a real sasquatch could FLY to the best runs. Now? Just overcrowded rivers and whining fishermen. Evolution? Bah. Devolution, more like. Get off my lawn!
