More March great fishing

 Swapping stories of earlier days with a couple of other old-timers, and getting interrupted by the occasional fish.  These guys were already well established guides when I started.  They influenced my style of guiding.  
 

sargassum seaweed

A bit of floating seaweed with herring eggs attached.  This probably got blown up to here from the spawning areas further south. Notice the eyes in the eggs. 

This Sargassum seaweed is an invasive species .  https://www.exoticsguide.org/sargassum_muticum 

 

a Recapture today

 Today in the micro-trolling research project we recaptured a chinook that was first tagged by a micro-trolling crew nearly exactly a year ago near Nanaimo .  It grew from 237 to 470 mm. 

  It is regular procedure to scan every fish on the chance that it could be carrying a PIT tag.  This is the first recap that we've had in our boat that was tagged by micro-trolling in a previous year.
