Tried the upper this morning, and there were no fish moving through. Big disappointment. I was expecting it to be substantially better. Are the fish getting throught the wier at the bottom? I suppose if you are hooking springs, they must be. Very surprised that nothing is making it up yet.

Do you think I'm still early?

Thanks for the report. If the fish can't get past the weirs in this high water they'll never will.

I was there from Dawn till 9am.  Landed 2 very chrome jack springs.  Did not see any major schools of coho moving through however.  Water was perfect, high but clear....nice morning.

Legs are hurting after the trek down and up the cliffs, haven't done that since summer.

I was also on the Cap this morning. Next to no Coho moving through and the shopping cart weirs are not an issue nor will they be with these flows. The ladders at the hatchery were nearly empty....

The caps used to be dynamite at high water. Like everywhere else, its fishing is nothing like the glory days of old. Have they cut stocking substantially or just blame the environment or ocean?  ???

I was at the hatchery today as well but my experience was much different  ???. In the ladder I saw about 50 coho(all colored), 8 to 10 springs(including jacks) and at least 2 beautiful steelhead in their spawning colors. Nice to see all that water flowing  :o. On another note had to call DFO about an individual who kept a chum in a river where there is no retention.  >:( READ YOUR REGS!!!!

Went back this morn hoping for some more spring jacks but the water was much higher and I didn't hook a single fish.  Saw a few chum and springs and the odd small old coho but I did not see the schools of coho moving up river like in previous years :-\

FYI the gate down to the cable pool is supposed to be open @ 8am, however, the gatekeeper opened it at 7am sharp both days I was there.

Went after work today till dark. Nothing doing - saw a couple of Chum and a few Coho. Didn't look like there were many fish moving through. Will give the morning a try one day this week.
