2011 SALMON RIVER - SALMON AND STEELHEAD Thread

    Good story, they did move slow in 98, we tracked them from lower black to the papermill, after 3 days of a hook up on almost every cast we got bored...  hmmmm..August of 99? If I closed the Hotel...what kind of shape was I in? I bet if you stopped by I might remember....  
  

Yup shane, I hit Dem in dsr the first day ; next day they were gone; went to tail of black with many runniing still. Later that afternoon ballfoeld was thick. Third day ball field was still thick right until until we left. Hooking up every cast is an understatement...

Is anyone in good shape at closing time? Lmao.....we actually butted heads a bit at first when talking fishingbut soon after came to terms... I remeber seeing your 80s steelhead album...





I'll have to stop by sometime. Thanks

  The King run 2 years ago on Labor day weekend, they made it from the lower black too the papermill in one day and were at the Trestle pool Monday morning.. River was 750cfs though so about 10 miles in 2 days..now Coho's can do the River in one day. they are rockets if the mood is right.. Just checked the hatchery, bad light, seen about 15 big browns,  1 fish could have been a king, but not sure...

was that monster brown still just belowthe ladder opening??? A true football to say the least...

  Butted heads? Not at the Hotel!!!   Everybody is king of the river when there drunk at the hotel!!  The very last race way there was a big fish..not sure what is was..all the rest were way up top, and they were definely browns..

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a good run before labor day.    Seems to have been a cooler than usual summer.  And i got a feeling we will get lots of wet weather the rest of the month.

I darn well hope we get a good run before Memorial Day!! If we don't a lot of people will be upset.. Guys were fishing today though.. Black Hole had 6 cars parked there and there were 7-8 guys fishing Long bridge .. So must be someone knows more then we do.. By the way Bazooka was only busting stones on the Memorial Day thing..I knew you meant Labor Day....

When it comes to august salmon in the river; you never know until you try. Even the sharpest eye can get tricked by what's lying in a fast deep run

Plenty of smallies were around yesterday; even a few big red eyed uglies ... go get um

  At first I thought I was going to half to put Griz on the list... no cars at the ballpark..no cars at the town pool..no cars at the long bridge..finally 4 cars at the black, but when I got down to the big black hole I found 6 guys drinking beer and watching there rods leaned up on there tackle boxs which were tightlining on bottom for whatever might bite. no one anywhere in pulaski fishing the rapids or looking for salmon.. Went to grocery store and came home.. Pretty much what I thought...nadda....

  Even my buddy Mark got caught up in that nonsense horse terd talkin on SC..he was looking around too...
