A Pink year in California??

California Pink Salmon

Curtis “Exotic Species” Wilson seems to have a habit of stumbling onto some rare fish in Northern California’s waters. This time, the man they call “Turkey” was prospecting for kings on the Mad River near Arcata, when this wayward pink “hit.” Pinks of course, are extremely rare south of Washington State and it’s the first one anybody can remember on the Mad.

If you recall, Wilson was also the proud angler who caught a sockeye in the Trinity River last year. See the pic HERE

What do pinks usually hit in the rivers?

A friend said he saw a pair of Sockeye spawning in the Lower Trinity River a couple years ago.
