August 22, 1999 --- Sooke Basin Estuary, British Columbia
Sea-run Cutts --- a blast! Run into local guide John Dyer. Interesting cat... his first name starts with a "J", i.e. a fishhook, and the first name of his father and all of his siblings began with a "J". A seriously hardcore fishin' family! John shows me a few tricks, and I hook two, land one, see other fish. Could do with more of this style of fishing. Hand-twisting #12 rolled muddler minnow patterns seems to be the modus operandi of choice. Best time is "on top of the tide".
