Was a bit slower where I fished this week, had to go to the hot spot to get them. ;D

Last night at dark they were coming through in good numbers, I see they have extended the opening until the end of the month, will give it another try on the way deer hunting.

Filmed a sockeye, pink and chinook study on the Thompson this week at Spences Bridge, was interesting and Herm did a good job describing the study, will post when I upload it under Fishing-related Issues & News.

Cool, sounds like you had a full day, don't forget to take that cape off before you hit the fart sack tonight, you wouldn't want any wrinkles in it for the next days flight. ;)

Post by: hue-nut on September 28, 2013, 10:13:44 PM: considering that they have already netted 25 Thompson Steelhead (17 at Albion and 8 at Whonnock) I think its safe to assume it will open.
