unsuccessful Victor, it was my first time there since the floods and when I went to some of my old spots they were completely different or unfishable. I thought people were being overdramatic when they were saying its like a new river but now I believe. I didn't actually even see any fish tbh besides some small trout and fry.

I went there twice - unsuccessful, i covered good stretch of water, got two bites, thats all. Will be heading out again this weekend to check some other spots - atleast i get to scout

New river has many good spots, anglers can spread out even more this fall season.

I've put the discussion on the jet boat incident into one thread so this one can stay on the red springs topic.

Perhaps, maybe tho it will be the opposite. Some inexperienced anglers or ones that dont get out to the vedder often will gravitate to where they see others in the safer spots like lickman and vedder crossing.

Here are the proposed target at the start of 2021. They have changed since then but I'll have to find the info later.

7.1 Interim Goal Chinook (Ages 3/4/5): 1000, Estimated for gear-effort: 50-250.
7.2 Interim Goal Coho (Aggregate): 7500, Estimated for gear-effort: 150-750.

So what was that revised goal number for 2022 ?

I'll have to ask, but so far they've caught 9 fish this summer.

Do they swim though the gillnet?? or swim at night?

I went out for my first time about 2 weeks ago and just swung spoons and manged to land 1 and lose another. Also went up to the hatchery there for the first time and was amazed at all the fish sitting in there!!

I have some friends visiting from Holland for another week. Is the fishing for red springs still okay around mid river.

Go upper (somewhere near the fishing boundary) if you want any shot at a not super ripe one, or fish super low for a early white chinook. Heard there's been a couple seen already.
