This is pretty neat to watch the fish as they migrate. Some nice chromers!!

Ethics is your actions and behaviour when no one is watching.

A problem well stated is a problem half solved.

Since when was snagging just a question of ethics and personal choice?

They are all springs. Im not sure if they get any steelhead to that river. Someone saw a sturgeon last week!

They seem to come in schools. Last night they were coming hard and heavy about 10:30.

Going from the measurement you get from the lines they've placed I dont think any Ive seen has been over 15 lbs.

I was at the Bonneville dam last year and it was amazing. Millions of Shad were on their migration and the sturgeon were following them up.

Here's some pictures from the Bonneville dam observation deck.

I've been there in the summer, crazy amounts of steelhead swam by. But then again, they were all hatch jobs so it wasn't as cool.

I noticed most fish are small 15lbs or less Why is this? Because they are hatch fish or because the early runs dont get as much time to feed in the ocean?

I'm not too sure about hatchery fish being smaller but I do know that the majority of fish are hatch jobs and that the wild run is less than 200,000 fish.
