  • catch anything?

Water looked good this morning with a very fishy color to it. Was out around 7ish and then it started pouring down heavy. Was soaked within an hour.

But I refused to give up. Kept fishing in the monsoon conditions and brought home a nice hatch for dinner. The kure of choice was Rodney's " weapon of mass destruction " #35 orange coho spoon. No chum was seen among the 3 of us in the lower.

Was fine this AM and the fresh run chum continue to slip in, smoked some and have enjoyed them for my lunch the last 2 days.We had some heavy rain while out for the evening flight for ducks tonight.Is fairly cool so the river may hang on for tomorrow, hardly any people in the lower. If you like chum to smoke time to get out before the run ends like the coho have some time ago, for me anyway. ;D

Saw the chum salmon study going on, shot some video will share later. Even some girls were part of the crew which always increases the viewing I have found out. :D

New river report for today, conditions are on the high side but definitely clarity is amazing.

Agree. Awesome river clarity report at various locations. Rodney should set up a sticky thread for this one during the steelhead season and future salmon seasons. We need a dedicated river level/clarity thread as there are just too much noise about some unrelated stuffs in the main river report.

I'll try and keep them going through the steelhead season, seems like I'm getting enough good feedback! If there are any big swings in conditions or if the river is in prime condition, I'll make a concerted effort to get out and check it out for you out-of-towners! I'll chat with Rod to see if there's a spot we can regularly post these reports/conditions. Thanks for the support!!

Great video, Ryan, but what time did you film? Not a soul out there!

River is in great shape and it is starting to look like steelhead water and weather. It was cool this AM. fresh chum still coming in, hardly anyone on the flow, time to do some walking and check out some new spots.

Rodney needs to install a camera on the river for water conditions, he can make some funds selling subscriptions to it. ;D ;D ;D
