Salmon River water increasing:) + update

looks like we'll be seeing an increase in the water levels at least for a few days- 500cfs from sunday night thru thursday night-
Salmon fishing on the river has been decent over the last week- NOT ON FIRE but consistant. We've been back trolling lures from upper to mid river. The big lake is tough trolling & most are drawing blanks - I've converted most of my lake charters to river trips and it's been working out well.

    the second fish that the couple with the yellow pants are holding isn't a king. look at it's forked tail and it's markings...

    mon sept 20-
    Weekday + better water = better fishing!:o
    For all the tough days this summer they're getting the pay back they deserve:skeert:
    The bites were hard and they stuck well
     



     
    tues/weds sept 21/22
    both reservoirs are FULL! even w/ the increased flows there's plenty of water for Oct:D
    the plugging has been decent the last 2 days, not on fire but good enough to keep us happy.
    yesterday we went 4 for 4- w/ a brute 30#er



    today we slacked off taking 6 hook-ups but only landed 2
