Title: Harrison River?
Post by: *Lil Fisherman* on September 05, 2006, 08:18:03 PM

Just wondering when fish start moving into the Harrison, as in salmon.

Prol'y when we get some much much needed rain. I think at least another 3 weeks.

ps...whenever someone says "What a nice sunny day" - tell them it is not very nice for salmon who cannot get home without rain. Also that without rain we have much higher pollution...

you'll get the odd one in there already but they'll really start to show up in october.  I assume youre talking about coho?  Lets all hope the runs will be strong this year.

Rain will help , although I do believe that the fish will head up river , regardless of water levels . There has to be enough water for them to swim up , that's it .

More water will help , especially for anglers . Since it will give areas of water for the salmon to hold in . Otherwise the salmon will just go fast up through the system to there spots .

That's my theroy anyway ;D
