I been doing well in the rollers and tailouts, but been in a funk fishing the belly of the pools this year.. Ive been doing this long enough were i feel like i could hook fish with a paper clip but every year at this time i try and bring every S@#t hook i have gathered over the years and i can clearly tell the difference.I know there pricey but i love using Gamakatsu #2s.I have about every hook out there in my box but if im having alot of on and off hookups and rolling alot of fish ill throw one of them on and change the whole day.Also like the mustad #7970's just wish the eye was flat or turned out. No excuses for me not landing fish but i have to place some blame on that tree across from the launch,there must be a sign underwater at the town pool telling kings that tree is ahead because the only fish i had go downstream was a ho.

Sorry i rolled my post into snaggers(into the vodka tonite)
here's my report for the day . IT WAS AWESOME !!!! the fishin was slow but the company was great , fished with HT , Esox , SCG , Adam 2000 , got to meet Bcons and northwoods . i went 1 for 3 but the one was memorable . we were leaving the hole where SCG got his fish and on the way out he starts yelling DrowndinDots right in front of you in 6 inches of water ! I'm lookin around like then i see it . I'm in shock cant belive my luck ! he takes my fly immediately makes a 80 yard run lines just roostertailin thru the hole man jumps 2 times then starts bulldoggin me up and down the hole for 20 Min's , i had to cross with frank to get him . PRICELESS sometimes you don't have to be on fish all day long to have fun thanks guys finished the day off in altmar after spendin some time at snaggers place good to see ya bro , man that dude can clean a salmon well and he has some good people there who give honest reports , a true rarity up there this time of year i strongly recommend stoppin by to have you're fish cleaned and just listenin to the boys , if ya cant learn nuttin there you must be a solar PUD
Thanx bro wish you coulda hung around longer we gotta do it again soon
It looks like everyone on and around the river had a good time today. Nice reports from everyone. Snagger- why do you suppose the fish continued to Altmar in tighter than average pods?
Nice seeing you today DD and the rest of the guys..nice meeting your buddy.. I'll say it again..I was amazed how well the guys did today at our end of the River I underestimated this run, usually at our end this early they spread pretty thin and hook ups go way down compared to Pulaski, not the case today, everybody hit fish pretty good had to open the fillet station early, it was a steady day of fish cleaning more like late september great weather too for working outdoors... forgot to take pic's, but heres one LV took last weekend.
Am report. I tried to find the pod of Cohos that came in late last evening. I fished all over today there are still fish in the treasle pool. 2A and below was a few fish but nothing moving all fish where pooled up and not moving. I couldn't hit a fish today. I didn't go back to where we fished yesterday. I walked from the treasle pool up to the bovines and didn't see a fish.SCG
