Fished the canal until I ran out of roe. The fish were very spooked today with the amount of people fishing with 10 lb cannon balls attached to their line. Managed 2 adult springs one jack, one wild coho, turned and lost 2 other coho's. Caught lots of chum, lost count on them. Coho didn't cooperate as much as during the week.

I watched the show at KWB this morning; no fist fights but lots of verbal threats across the river from anglers tangled together.  I did not see any intentional snagging, but long leaders were the norm. When I was there, 10 ish, I estimated maybe 40 fish (mainly chums but a few chinook and the odd coho, including a very sorry looking jack coho) frantically dodging the stuff thrown their way.  These fish were very stressed but thanks to the big rootwad in the deep holding water, had a place to hide.
 
Speaking of that rootwad ... full of gear!!!   anyone with a wetsuit should check this tacklestore out before highwater ... the angler's won't mind you swimming this pool 

You mean the cleanup crew did not get this on River Day,shameful.

Wow Chris, thought you were exaggerating when you said you'd never seen so many out.  I just got back from the river and that was indeed the most people I've ever seen on the river before first light with more on the way.  I decided it wasn't worth it and came back home without stepping foot out of he car.   Wife was thrilled to see me home so early and gave me a long list of chores .  Should have stayed out longer, i could have at least taken a nap in the car .

Things will get back to more normal conditions tomorrow as this weekend is always the busiest on the fall salmon season.  With all the crowds I fish the last light of the day as the early morning crowds,( in the dark) have gone home exhausted. I have found the bite quite good the last hour but the tide conditions have been favorable too.

Of course no one fishes "The Glove."

Chris, that's because you'll tell them "to beat it, just beat it".
