Our area was good with bites off and on most of the morning with, as Rod said first light being the best. I then gave up my spot to Jon as I had 3 to the beach with one a hatchery. I missed about 6 hits as well, slow water made it hard to hook them or maybe too slow these days. Jon was in to a few while I cleaned up the area of garbage which was not bad at all except a lot of discarded line from people getting rats nests. I did not want it to wash down in the coming high water event.
A fellow from this forum was doing very well all morning with a fly, had a good visit with him while cleaning up the garbage.
Jon and I then decided to head to Cookies Grill for a late breakfast and talked about the old times including when we took Rod coho fishing to the Squished Tin where we all had good fishing, I think it was in 2001, Rod will have pictures of the day, that was the second time I had taken him out and he was just starting this web site and we then started the CVRCS shortly after that.
How things have changed from then to now.
Jake and his relative joined us for lunch and we had some more good banter and talked about several topic and issue we have these days on the fishing front.
We also met up with a local fishery officer twice around Lickman as he is covering the area pretty well and says compliance is very good by most, of course dealing with some methods of activity is difficult in some areas of the river.
After Cookies I went and bought a new rain jacket to prepare for the rain storms coming, we should get one more good morning of fishing before the river turns to flood stage as logs and muddy condition will be the order of the day so to speak.
Time then to go duck hunting.
