After a one year hiatus of salmon fishing Jake Jacobson and I made a trip up to the Harrison River to fish for salmon on Tuesday, October 19th. It makes for a long day fishing the Harrison River with me jumping out of bed at 3:15 am and meeting Jake at Hagen’s parking lot at 4:30 am for the 270 mile round trip to the river and back. I arrived home at 6:15 pm tired from a very successful day of salmon fishing.
When we arrived I wasn’t sure that the salmon run was in full swing but after arriving at “Buron’s Bar”, as Bob Banks calls it, I began to see fish working in the river. Jake and I quickly strung up our rods and began fishing. Jake had never done this type of fishing before but quickly got the hang of it. In fact he out fished me early and continued to do so all day! He found a “honey-hole” and dynamite couldn’t move him from his cherished spot on the river. Every once in awhile he would have to move to land a fish and I’d sneak in and catch a fish before he’d return and run be off again.
Jake and I hooked and/or landed so many fish we decided that at about 2:00 pm we’d quit. Both arms and my back were tired from battling these tremendous fighting fish.

The weather was gorgeous with both of us fishing in our shirt sleeves after the sun came up. For those of you who know Jake ask him about his porpoise move while fishing. He made two spectacular ones today. At first I thought I heard a walrus in the water but it was only Jake doing his porpoise move.
