I haven't read the SC nonsense yet..what is there salmon at my house?
if there are, don't fish for them, you will rile up the PETAphiles,,,,,again....
Hopefully you'll time one of the mid Sept. coho runs..they are silly... my rule of thumb adam is 2-3 miles a day for kings, unless the water is cold like in october or very high like last year ... 185cfs and 72 degree water it would take some time to get up river.. I haven't read the SC nonsense yet..what is there salmon at my house?
Yeah I figure they jump to every big hole. Estuary to rope swing hole then to the black then town pool trooper sportsman and so on. But can believe it possible for a fish to make it to the trestle in 185 cfs andwater temp of 70. I dont
I'd say you're 100% correct. The guy that posted on SC is NUTZ, prob pic from last yr. Even DSR delayed opening another week saying the water is too low & too warm.
Just anything I read from there normally irrates me to no end.
Sorry you're right there was no pic, I was mistaken. That site just gets me. I know some early birds can show up, some in & outs to the mouth etc. Just anything I read from there normally irrates me to no end. The only other report they have is "Several pods in the port" on 8/10. The author also wrote the lake had flipped on the 10th and the cold water was in at 15fow. GUess all the boats just missed that.
If I closed the Hotel...what kind of shape was I in?
I'll try Country Song Titles for $1,000 Alex...
Well yes if it was Sept. 5th, but now is a stretch, but one could have made it... I just read the SC thread. one dead salmon and an old dead skam aint a run...on August 22nd 1998 the run of the century came in with 70 plus degree water..it took 3 days for the leader fish to get to the trestle...
i remember that run well! i had just had my shoulder rebuilt (was still in pt) and the fish were winning after the second day of 50-60+ fish! i can also remember other years with some later runs in cold high water were the fish scooted up the river in a day or so. i remember reading an acticle before about the spawning runs in some of the rivers in alaska and they were saying that on some runs, kings will average over 30 miles a day if conditions are right. just a thought.
