My first Blue Samon

[Two Utes]

Isn't it always great getting your first of a species. Good on ya Paul. looks like you had a great session there in some beautiful surroundings to....and it doesn't look like you've been effected buy the dust storm over there either.
Keep those reports coming mate.

.yes even for the smaller ones they do go hard so i would love to get a big one, how big can they get ?

Paul I've only seen them up to about 2-2.5kg, but they reckon they get up to 18.5kg http://www2.dpi.qld.gov.au/fishweb/2559.html
YIKES ....... wouldn't they go on 10kg..
My experience with them they travel in schools, so you can certainly get a bit of hectic action when they are around.

One of my favorite photos of a Blue Salmon .... which sadly I didn't take but one of the clients took.
(Thanks Alex S.)


I looks like its trying to see what's stuck in the corner of its mouth and causing it some concern.
