Well I've been floating around lurking for a while now so I thought it was only fair that I start posting up some reports and giving back a little bit.
Let me start off by saying that I won't be posting too much in the way of locations, as it seems to draw quite a crowd and I'm not about to be responsible for that. At the most I'll give the river name. If anyone wants specific info from me in the future please PM me as I won't be putting anything out on the web. Just cause you PM me though, don't expect a drawn map, if you're worthy you will get a bit better spot location. OK enough of my opening rant.
So the boys and I finally got our act together about noon and got up on the Chilliwak late yesterday. The water was moving high and fast. Not blown out yet though. Visibility was about a foot and a half and got better as the day moved on. We spent a lot of time hiking first off trying to find a good spot. A few people into fish but nothing to the beach. It was a slow start and not that many fish caught (to me a fish caught is a fish to the beach) Finally managed to get into two nice clean fish one a small Chinook doe, very clean. Actually thought it was a Coho as it was so bright still. She probably hadn't been in the river more then a day or so. My buddy also had one nice Chum to the beach. A little bit of a bar on her but still very clean.
As the evening wore down another push of fresh fish came in. Still lots of Chinook coming up and some Coho too. I think we are still in for some more clean Coho pushing through this season but we'll have to see if the rivers cooperate visibility wise. Not the best day of fishing but still a day on the river. At least the rain held off.
I'll probably head out again for first light tomorrow, just not sure where yet. Have to wait and see what the rain does.
