Great report Jim, sorry to hear about the break in your leg. I remember being pretty devastated when I initially thought I may miss the early fall LL Salmon runs due to a broken heel, like you I too rushed back as fast as I could to get on the water and probably delayed my recovery, though not nearly as bad as your case from the sound of it (I didn't need surgery). That must be frustrating that those xrays you had didn't catch it, similar happened to me (inconclusive xray) except the CT scan caught the fracture (luckily not a bad one). Wish you a speedy recovery, good luck!As for the fish, I like the salmon, especially that golden/yellow belly'd male. good stuff, you always seem to get those very-late season salmon.
Wow, sorry to hear it went to that extent! I'm hopeful your recovery is going well. I'd encourage you to lay low for a bit but I know how you like your streak.....will we see a similar photo in your next thread???Here's to better health in the New Year!
Jim, WOW 32 fish in 5 hours is impressive . That was productive fishing. No wonder your leg kept bothering you. The doctors sure missed the initial injury. Oops! Good luck in your recovery.
Bummer Jim! Im crossing my fingers you'll be back at it soon!
Sorry to hear of your injury Jim but you're not alone.On the 13th of Jan. I was down to my smelt shacks toreplace a couple of lines and then fish for a while. I noticed that I had lost the stabilicer on my left foot and as I was coming out of one of the shacks, I slipped on the foot without the cleatand landed on the threshold. The end result was 5 broken ribs and a week in the hospital. I was alone and It was a long drive home.I'm home now, can't wait to get back down there.Count for January was just over 3,000. Last year we had 7,841 for the year. Unbelievableprivate spot. Both camps are fished nearly every night. I have several wardens, both inland and marine that fish and take good care of the camps.Wayniac is going down with me and let me know when you can go.Hope you get better. Also, our fly tier is gearing up if you know anybody.
