It's a mad river today. Saw no fish caught, two snugged.

[leapin' tyee]

Wow, a lot fishermen this morning. Tight line

Quite busy at the river this morning, water level is great.  However did not see anybody else get into any fish.  Found a nice quiet run to fish this spoon and it got destroyed by a big spring...  Hook bent right open. Don't know how my 8lb UG did not break first.

^ sucks to have a hook bent out on a fish, i recommend switching to a different brand siwash hook

[clarkii]

I suggest you try out Everday's trailer hook method.

[Golfer]

I have the trailling hook set up on all my go to spoons which are silver or copper koho's and kitimats.  The aforementioned spoon, did not have the trailing hook because I never bothered to set it up, due to the fact that I don't normally fish brass spoons combined with my lack of success with them.  However, I will have to go pick up some size one hooks to set up before thursday.

When does fishing on the cap usually end for the year?  I've been climbing up and down the canyon the last few days and found some spots, but the river still looks like chocolate milk and with all this rain coming doesn't seem like it will be improving anytime soon.

It's pretty much done. Might be the very odd bright fish but most will be dark and should be left alone.

Hey Silver,
I think I was fishing with you and this father and son who helped you net the fish.  Did you have any luck after I left?  I have never seen so many springs in that spot before.

[Silver]

Yes, homemade...thanks to one particular pro staff member at Highwater for spending the time to show me this easy and inexpensive setup. This will always be my go to gear for the cap. I like spoons, but I'm afraid to loose them and I'm not convinced that they work any better.

The color I caught that one on was hammered brass. I have only had solid bites on silver or brass hammered, or scaled, glittered solid color chartreuse or green blades also...the one in the photo was one of the last ones I had left from my initial random colors purchase.

Hello fic,

I only stayed a little bit longer as the river was rising and a wasn't getting any more nibbles.

I'm very pleased about this spot also...we must keep this little holding pool to ourselves

There is at least one under utilized spot on the Cap and still bright fish to be had...with a little effort. I drove to the parking lot after and there was a line up of cars waiting to park...have fun at the Cable Pool

Unfortunately the only reason there was only 4 of us there is because it's passed prime time on the Cap.  It can get super busy in mid October all over the river including that spot.  I think the Cap probably have only 1/2 of as many people as in Mid October right now.
