Very cold and icy in the upper at first light.
I fished some nice water and released my largest bull trout at mid-river - thought it was a small steelhead then saw the spots.  No other takedowns and it was very windy.
One guy said he got one at first light. No other sightings.

Was out this afternoon, water clarity was great but it was on the high side. Lots of anglers out in the usual spots. Great day on the flow!

Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught.

Forgot to mention i had to come back the next day as my boat wasnt ready to be picked up from service. Went to the spot again (hint: above crossing but below tamahi) and managed to hook one in the frist two cast.

another hint i was using shrimp and fishing side channel hope that helps you get positive and get em fish.

Dont forget water temp and level, time of day, what you had for breakfast and what color socks you were wearing.

Is it just me or the fish are playing hide and go seek? I was out there a week ago and all the guys I talked to said they haven't really seen anything since high water...I check Freds derby info and nothing has be weighed in since the 17th(Or it just hasn't been posted online?). Anyone hear of any fish being brought in.

Someone better check the Sumas for nets. There might be a reason why no steelhead have been seen recently.
