Well, I went to a local river, which does have a name, and that would be the Stave. I like to make one or two trips a season, as I fished it a ton back when i was younger and before the gong show really started. Anyways, went on foot today and strolled past all the people within a two minute walk of their cars, found myself all alone. I picked up one hatchery coho buck on a blade that was a little skunky, so he got flicked off promptly. Fishing the froggy water produced no more fish as I only spotted a handful of colored coho, so I went and fished some edges near the swifter stuff. Picked up a nice 16" wild cutthroat on a Jensen, nice surprise, but when I saw the chrome I was hoping kisutch. Oh well. Still a billion chum up top, as well as a few springs from the looks of things. Also many bottom bouncers and snaggers up top, I try to avoid them, but had to have a word with one family who had a boot spring laying in the sand and then picked up by its tail before and attempted release. Maybe in two weeks or so the crowds will be thinned, head back for some late coho and cutties.
