Fished for 2 hours after high tide yesterday afternoon. There weren't nearly as many fish as earlier in the week.  After two hours I didn't even have 1 hook up, and I was trying everything (except roe - which I will make sure to bring today).  Then, on my very last cast, I tried the old trusty pink Croc Spoon for the heck of it, and I hooked into another big Chum, this time a large doe.  She fought like a Coho - jumping and rolling, and after about 5 minutes, the hook popped out.  I shut her down after that as we had company coming over for supper.  Will give it a go again today.

Same luck with me too. Had a Big Male Chum on and popped off on the fly. Oh well catch and release.

Tried again yesterday, same time/place.  Didn't see many fish at all for the 2.5 hours we were there.  There was virtually no wind, and the water was calm, so it would've been easier to spot fish - but there weren't any.  Through everything at them (except roe - again), but there were no takers.  I'm tying up some leaders right now, going to try float fishing with roe tomorrow; which is something I haven`t tried at this spot before; but I'm guessing the bulk of the Coho run is over.  Water clarity was still very good to excellent, so casting lures should still be effective if the fish are there and are hungry.

maybe try a couple different spots... You can't expect to go to the same spot every day and find fish. find yourself a half a dozen spots on the river that produce fish and hit at least a few of them every time you're out until you find the fish. You'll have much better success then standing in the same spot every time waiting for fish to swim by.
