Montecristo Cigars

I know that I always try to get a good cigar in any of the pictures that I upload on this site but yesterday’s day fishing in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia was a wonderful day out with many fish on the line and I couldn’t resist showing this off… This is a Coho Salmon, maybe 8 or 9 pounds and fought like a champion… Americans call this a Silver but whatever the name, they taste great…The limit is four hatchery Cohos per person, there were three of us and we took home eleven… A fabulous day …I actually smoked a small flavored cigar as we cleaned these fish on the side of the river… It wasn’t a Cuban but I thought that we were going to be hit with a lot of rain and decided to leave all of my Cubans at home… Not interested in wasting a cigar in the wind and the rain but as luck would have it, we had a nice stretch of good weather and I would have made out fine… Speaking of smoking, I’ll be smoking one of the Cohos I brought home, I have friends who love smoked salmon… Tight lines!
