I'm still waitig for the steady stream of big boys. So far alot of jacks.They are definately outnumbering the springs by at least 6-1. :'( :'(

Went back yesterday (Friday), and it was a gong show - even in my quiet spot. Only saw a few jumpers, and it was SLOW. I wonder how many got through when the river was very high.

Seymour... Went out yesterday, what was gin clear, high but very fishable... Problem there - no fish - not a one... Ran into a few regular fly guys and they all reported the same.

Post by: hotrod on October 06, 2007, 11:00:56 PM: The cap will blow it's top overnight for sure. Big rain and big wind. Hopefully equals big fish. Will take a gander out tommorrow.Got into my first chum of the year today and managed one beauty 5 lb coho.Alot of work for two fish.

I believe a good number of fish blew by last high water but not the numbers we're used too. Anyone take a peek at the hatchery ?

Still a lot of dark fish in raceway with a few silvery fish. Mind you that info is only from Friday when I was there. Slow overall for me. That rain did bring in a bunch of fresh ones though and they just flew through the system.

One fellow was fishing halfway down the stairs at the cable pool :o, a guy that was bottom bouncing the cable pool managed to hook into a couple big springs but they didnt stay on for very long. There are some fresh coho coming in but they arent easy to find when the water is so high.
