2011 SALMON RIVER - SALMON AND STEELHEAD Thread

[SNAGGER]

  Well I re grouped after this morning's little beat down....fished from 12:30 til 4pm...went 17 for 28, couldn't get those last 2 fish to save my life to make it a 30 fish afternoon.  Just unbelievable afternoon, actually had 2 hours of fishin by myself after a good walk.  What a season, I'll never forget it.

Until 6:00 PM tomorrow, Wed, 1,500 CFS

All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimates only. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Always be alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by being in this area!

Thats what I like to hear SNAG! 1500 CFS!!

  I been working really hard and alot of moving to get these numbers, bet I'm walking 1-2 miles an afternoon.. After my back injury on July 5th, I been trying to stay in shape for ice fishing season, if it ever comes.  I hope you guys smash them... you will be splitting it 3 ways though , I was by myself today..... half inch rule is too keep blatant snagging to a minimum I guess.  Not sure really.

Fished the river today from 10-230,  went 2 for 20.   Couldnt land them to save my life, switched to 8lb maximum after i realized my line was horrible...  Then the hooks just kept poping outta there mouths.  But all in all it was a good day...

Remember back in the day when they did away with the Crickets?? They used to be able to be 3/4 inch gap..When they banned them they also dropped hook size down to 1/2 inch...

That's crazy!! My hat's off to you sir. Could you imagine the damage if you had the ticket early and didn't have to go back and regroup? Those numbers are incredible!

[SNAGGER]

   The drawdown begins.  Any bets on what it goes to tomorrow night?  We had a good high water run, ...., I'm ready for a nice 335 drop. bonanza...... shake things up a bit.
