Anyone have a report?

[funfisher]

Too early yet. Maybe the middle of October.

[HOOK]

is the past you will usually get a few trickling in around now or so but the bulk doesnt really start showing until Mid October. Still worth it because the coho alot of times come in earlier and then also near the end of the chummies  dont expect alot of fish to be around though.

Few coho in there now have to hunt for them, managed a hook up with coho yesterday got it in close and lost it, not allot of fish rolling but there is a few here and there, I was tossing spoons with a light action spin casting setup. worth a try i would say

the next good rain will bring chum in all the rivers

None for me yet, waiting with great anticipation for my first one of the year 

[Rantalot]

Saw about 5 to 10 boats fishing from the bridge up to the booms on my way home today.

[leadbelly]

my favorite fall system.Stoped for a looksie on the way back from the cleanup.More boat and vehicles around the mouth than I would have expected for a very dry low tide Sept 27.Went up top and saw zero fish surface in about 10 minutes.few fishemen around casting in the sun.

Ive heard chum in the stave are hard to catch just because the have massive sharp teeth that cut the line when they bite on the lure.
Any truth to that?

Never had that problem

[Banny]

Bobo is right, even with 8 and 10lb leader I have not run into that issue

Any particular lures you would suggest?

Flies



Spoons and spinners work as well. You will find that chum of all the salmon species are probably the least picky when it comes to color and lures. Greens seem to be the best but I am sure its more of a confidence thing with that color for me than anything else.

[leadbelly]

I would... lures in the lower, they all seem to have some success. Small bright spoons maybe, crocks work well but I prefer ovals like Little Cleo or Gibbs Coho.
jigs, big flashy ones like Bent Rods Jigs farther up in the current shortfloated. Or colorado blades, or  spoons in deeper slower water.But thats just me.

   The best thing to use besides flies is Bent rod's chum jigs. Purple over pink was incredible last year. Just short float the jig. You will be really surprised how well they work.
