Last week of Oct 2012

I have been going up that week the last 6 or 7 years. Burt will have a lot of browns, steelhead and salmon but most of the salmon will be pretty well over the hill that late in the month. Oak Orchard will have browns, steelhead, some coho, other pretty well beat up salmon and, with luck, you may hook an atlantic. The Oak has an established etiquite that the person in a spot first that day "owns" the rights to that spot until he/she says they are finished. It's a very nice experience but if you want a good spot you have to be there early. Good luck ! I enjoy it enough that I go back every year. Expect crowds especially at Burt.

Greenhead; Topdog is right on about the numbers. Was there the last week of Oct. this past fall and had a great trip. The Salmon were still there and the Brown Trout numbers were starting to pick up. If you want more trout its better in early to mid nov. Did land 3 Atlantics and lost a huge one on my last day. Burt dam is just too crowded for me; although it has a lot of fish in the river at the end of Oct. Marsh Creek had lots of Salmon then; but not many Browns. Just my two cents from a guy that has fished from mid Oct. to mid Nov. for quite a while. Use your feet and you will find nice spots that are not crowded on the Oak.

if your looking for fresh salmon hire one of the salmon charter boats in june july or early august while theyre still silver. But the date your looking at coming up here is fine for catching good numbers of trout and salmon
