I had a pretty incredible day of sockeye fishing with Austin Moser and his crew on the opening day of sockeye fishing on the Brewster Pool. I met the boat at 4:30 that morning and Austin pointed the boat to the top of the pool, where the Okanogan River enters the Columbia. He got all six rods baited up and dropped over the side at the appropriate depths. It took much less time for first one rod, then a second and a third to start bouncing. While three anglers scrambled to pick up these rods, three more went off. We had six sockeye on in minutes of putting our baits out. That flurry just set the tone, as we were hooking sockeye as soon as Austin could get the hooks rebaited. He was a blur in the boat, using two nets to keep up and stuffing fish into the cooler on ice. Everyone was yelling and pointing to rods that had fish on. We were all laughing and filling out our punch cards, while others landed fish. In an hour we had 24 fish in the cooler. The video I did doesn’t have any action scenes. I was too busy catching fish!
