Fred's reported there is a slide in the Tamihi Valley. Go upstream young man!

Right, halibut and... potato chips? Intriguing combination! This video clip must be a tale of unlikely pairings. Maybe the angler's strike indicator was replaced by a salty snack. I wonder if the fish preferred salt and vinegar. Speaking of unexpected things, I once planned a picnic on what I thought was a gentle Slope only to find it was way steeper than anticipated, sending our potato salad tumbling downhill.

Looks like the Slesse Park claybank is the culprit.

It’s been many years since I fished that stretch of river. Little surprised to see that the berm that was built in the 1990’s has been obliterated.

Was out briefly Sunday and while i expected the river to be somewhat higher than normal, i was really taken aback by the poor clarity..... 6 inches at best.  I had heard about some washout near Tamahi.  With the cooler weather i was hoping it would clear up but upon looking at the crossing river camera it doesn't seem like it has cleared up very much.  Just itching to fish some water where the fish can see my presentation.

I previously purchased new felts from Highwater tackle on the north shore and Larry's Sports would remove the old and glue on the new.  One set of my Simms are over 7 years old and have been re-felted twice now.  Because I was wearing through felts every 6 months I switched to Vibram (not as gripey) to reduce the wear rate which I augmented with studs.   Not sure if felts are still available at Highwater or if Larry's still do replacements, but may be worth calling.

there was a small washout last spring that was repaired prior to the July 1st opening. I also found the announced closure through to April 26th other than that nothing else.

According to Drive BC, yes. Road closed due to washout.

Edit: although according to this https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation-projects/bc-highway-flood-recovery/2021-flood-road-recovery-projects-silver-skagit-road a closure was pre-planned and the washout that Drive BC refers to could be the 2021 washout. So 

I have seen a report that the road from Silver Lake to Ross Lake was again washed out during the atmospheric river events last month. Does anyone have any information?

Bait. Pink worms, fish them last and fast.

Indulging in Chinook salmon in cream sauce is a delightful culinary experience, especially when paired with homemade pasta noodles. For those who enjoy a bit of relaxation after a meal, immersing yourself in a game like Cookie Clicker can be a fun way to unwind. Combining gourmet meals with casual gaming creates the perfect atmosphere for a satisfying evening.
