Just like Dion said. Thanks Chris for taking the time to give us the updates on the river. It is really appreciated.

[Tee]

Was on the water this afternoon from 2:30pm to last light. The water was very good. I would say between 3 and 5 ft visibility depending where you are. It had not rained yet by the time I left.

By the way, I landed a few jacks as well but only brought one home.

Raining fairly hard now but did not have that much overnight. Also the river gauge shows no rise.

A lot of the early snow came down on the weekend with that mild wind so the river should be ok, this morning at least. Time to tie up a new leader and out to the flow, less than a hour to the Maple Leaf DNE is going down. Also need to put another logo on, it got a little water logged yesterday.

Looks like the river is coming back up a little.  Let's hope the rain stops for a while.

[chris gadsden]

Please report on the conditions in the morning Chris. I will be looking on the site around noon and making my judgment mainly on your report.

I really appreciate all the condition reports you post.

As promised.

Conditions were still excellent when I left the river 10 minutes ago. We have had rain for a good part of the morning, it may have colored a little.

The good part was lots of action, I lost count of the fish I missed, broke off or lost. Steelhead King said I was using too small of hook. I did land 4 chinook jacks and retained one, lost what I believe were 2 coho.

When I left Rodney, Luke and Steelhead King were still pulling them in.

I decided to take a break and go to badminton later, there is always tomorrow or the next day if the river stays in which I believe it will.

Good fishing this afternoon DionJl  and please give us a report later.

Thank you very much Chris. I just got off the phone with Rodney, sound's like its well worth the drive.

Wow chris i dont know how you can be so cheerful after a 7-1 mauling of the leafs

[Fish Assassin]

After 40 years you get used to it.

[kingpin]

HAHAH

[chris gadsden]

When one can fish most days while the rest of you work to pay my pension or go to school why wouldn't one be happy.

I think I might just slip out to check the conditions now, might take the rod too.

[chris gadsden]

Slipped out for the last half hour tonight and the river seemed a little higher and a bit more colored than this morning but still fishable.

All species were splashing around me as darkness closed in but no takers like they did this morning. I am still shaking my head with all the chances I had and only could bring 4 jacks to hand with only one silver one retained.

Tomorrow should be as good as this morning was and you should find fish throughout the whole system as they are moving most of the day, go get them.

[chris gadsden]

conditions at first like were a little cloudy I thought but improved as the morning progressed.

Not much action at first light same as yesterday but then a good bite for a while with lots of action.The hook Steelhead King gave me yesterday did not help much as lost and missed many. Only landed one silver chinook jack and a chum. Lost a hatchery coho at the beach as I was checking to see if it was a hatchery. I saw it was clipped and started to pull it ashore but I pulled the hook out, they sure know what way the water is.

The rest of the boys had good action too.

Guiding The Master this afternoon  so we will see how he can do.

The water conditions should remain perfect for an afternoon outing.

oh you are suffering from what I suffered from last year, every time I saw that adipose was missing, the fish was lost...

It was a real curse in the earlier part of last year!

I feel for ya

Ah, you're all killing me!  I can't wait to get out again.

I think I'll brave the crowds on Saturday.

And I'll take a day off next week (Wednesday or Thursday) to make another attempt.

Anyone care to join?
