sometimes one color will outperform by far, usually though i am always mixing it up and moving around the same as if i am after coho.Always changing lures etc.
big rain tomorrow so the weekend should have lots of fresh fish.

Just so new anglers are clear on where the closed area is without getting lost with the upstream/downstream business (because I'm already lost after the last couple of posts), here is a map that outlines the closed area (highlighted by the red shade).



So that's where the water flows back up to the Dam?

another SLICE of dirty fish perhaps?

were u fishing with home made jigs and CP setup?  If u were, then i was fishing right beside u today . :)  Lost two jigs today.  One thing i found interesting was, I could still get some pretty good hits just floating the jig on still water~

We seined the toilet bowl today for coho brood stock and I did not see anyone fishing the channel. Maybe because we had DFO trucks and they thought we were COs!!  :D

no I left the pin at home for the Stave chumlys.Ive used my 8' convergeance and lowpro level.
incoming tide was ok but had to move constantly to find flow.later in the day my bud showed up and I put him into jigs, he got lots and I had so many damn chum it was retarded, I would have stopped sooner but people kept wanting to stand on my shoulders to fish ( solution = constant birdsnests and float hanging way downstream got rid of them) and it was fun watching the longliners not get much as well. swear i lost a couple chromers too

Gates open 9 but you can park up on the road if you want to start earlier

Don't forget blades, they work well too

or you can fish the west side, no gates.incoming tide all morning, look for decent flow and toss a jig under a float, then hang on
