cap cohos? May 21st
« on: May 21, 2004, 11:22:24 AM »
went to the cap this morning, passed rodney and some other fisherman on the way to the park, gave him the any fish sign? and he shook his head no, we tried three or four pools but no sign of cohos for us, caught a couple of small steelies but that was it. anyone else have any luck today?

The morning tides are really small right now.It's only moving around one foot from low to high.Afternoon tides on the other hand are huge with ten feet or more of change.Problem is second high tide is falling around 10pm or so.Tides will improve and so will the fishing

Oooh, you were asking if we got fish Lucky, I thought the hand gesture meant if we were selling firewood or not... ;D Nope, no fish. Well, actually, two. Two lively smolts for me. Water was clear, but the level was quite high actually, perfect would be the word to describe it. I don't know where those fish that Gumboots was into yesterday went.... ;D

I checked the hatchery today before hitting the river. There were only two in the ladder. About 3lbs a piece.

Took my usual Friday trip out to the Capperoo along with FatteyMagrattey and a friend from work and we arrived at about 1:30ish. The water was in perfect condition as far as we could see and our hopes were very high considering Gumboots report earlier. So away we went attempting to catch the un-catchable. Meaning, if they aint there you're not going to catch em. A couple smolts and a few other smolt bites but that's it. Fished for four hours and enjoyed the beauty and each others company but damn, sure wish the fish
were in. Oh well, no biggy, we'll get em next time,lol.
