For purely selfish reasons, this may be my only water condition report for this season.  Was out today with a new 6 wt 2-hander down near Hoogies; (ask Chris)   Water conditions were good - high but app. 24" visibility.  Saw 4 other anglers, 3 eagles, lots of mergansers and a gazillion gulls all chowing down on chum carcasses.  Still a few fresh chums around, had one male rip a swung purple intruder...  was using an old Hardy Viscount, the type without an exposed rim for palming ... never again as I damn near broke my finger trying to stop the bugger :D

I Was up today for a few hours. Only saw a handful of people and no fish caught. Saw some old, nasty chum and a coho but no steelhead. The water is much higher than I have seen it but still pretty good clarity.

Fishing continues very slow for all the top rods out on the flow today, heard of one wild and one hatchery taken.
