Those kings were in the river 1-2 weeks - most of what we caught and saw were darker than what was caught in the previous two years at the same time. They still fought like heck, and were more than 1/2 full of eggs. The week prior - we had gotten 4" of rain and all the rivers were up and unfishable for a week or more - and I think some of them had been in the creek a while. They still took egg imitations - and we landed about a dozen and all but one were fair and square jaw hook ups.
