Fri Sat report

I shoulda never planned going- last year I went for a mid- Oct. afternoon all shark season and it was a banner run. Sorry, guys, I jinxed it. Thanks for the report, Trev.

I believe I saw a state report posted on another site by a guy called fish tech that stated the net seining showed as many or more wild born fish after the flood.
Flood ain't the issue.

Try the new rod, Wayne?  I was hoping it'd handle the hard runs of the chubs.  Your due, bud, your due.  You've paid in, now for the payback.

Lets hope winter is 3 weeks late too..................
 

    Yes tried it out in the afternoon it has lots of backbone to land those hard fighting chubs. Hoping for a good bend in it this week something to get the blood flowing.

Heading up again this weekend uf?

Can understand the weather related indicators of when the fish may or may not run however have seen over the years they often mean little to the fish. The past couple years runs of  early fish  in good numbers with  very low warm waters are  a prime example.
 Flood theories may well be negated by the report 2Bob refers to with the hatchling count being OK following the floods.
The lake being colder this year with different wind patterns may well have spread the fish and even slowed maturity resulting in low early returns this season - however have read reports of  the Canadian rivers  doing OK  this season.
If they were so spread and the colder waters are pushing back egg maturity in hens causing them to run later why is Canada doing OK and not this side of the lake ???
  Simply saying that this seems to be  an old fashioned year with the fish likely showing in late Sept to early Oct is OK - just kinda hope that all there is to it and it ends up happening that way..
   IMHO- even in slow years of old always seemed to be  more 'scouts' by now.
I know- I know- pre run jitters- but am kinda getting a weird feeling bout this- certainly fueled by so many  negative rumors.

Rich I remember it was about this time period back then that I was on the LFZ catching those browns and a bunch of coho that fought like steelhead on steroids,and the beauty of it all was that there were few people for some reason!
I sure hope something starts very soon as I'll be there Sunday!

Been decent reports of browns here and there..tuna, I've noticed good stand out years for browns through the years but I've never noticed spots being consistent as I've never hit them good in the same spots... Just may be a coincidence though. With water temps averaging middle fifties should start showing more trout

Maybe it has to do with numbers stocked.  In 2013 in the SR system, they stocked 68K Coho, 168K steelhead and 360K Chinook.  Still, you have a better chance at coho in the SR than anywhere else in the state as all the 2 year olds go to SR, and one in 5 of all stocked goes into SR.  Browns either are not doing well or are using other tribs like Sandy and Grindstone, as they are stocking actually more in the eastern basin than around the Oak where they rule, and the past studies say they don't stray too far from stocking areas.

I was just looking at some live web cams,people are fighting fish at the town pool.

Something must be up DSR reported a walleye being caught yesterday. It is the second one I have heard being caught this year. A 21 inched was caught in the black hole in late August.
 

That and dsr hasn't submitted a report since Sunday. Hoping for some luck in the morning

I will be there Wednesday through Saturday. Let me know when your definetly coming and we'll see if we can get into them.

DSR posted up- lousy
