Guess its just me
Been reading a bunch of pro reports and everything is just fine on the SR with GREAT fishing for most all species.
Reminds me of  'back to the future' re runs.

MONEY!! that's what they are fishing for.

We watched 3 boats float past with no ropes hanging and 1 more with 1 little chrome.

Not what I wanted to hear. I pulled a medium heavy spin rod off a rack this morning, thinking how many bass that thing pulled away from stumps and pads, and thinking it would do well from the wall in conjunction with my 10' handled net. I was thinking I'd take a trip there sometime with you, Clint. I hope this is only a temporary downturn.

What to believe ??- one report says ON FIRE in town today with Browns Kings and Steel and DSR says poor fishing for days.
Same thing happened last week on Steel with a different place doing the  ON FIRE reports.
Last week got kinda verified by one of our own via PM.
Blowing through the low end at night ??

We just got back and did not touch a fish in  2.5 hard days up, middle, and down.  This is the worst run we've ever seen.  There are dark male salmon all over the river, but very few active redds, and the steelhead are few and far between.  Even Altmar is very slow, saw no hookups in the UE for 3 hrs today, only a couple of fish in the tail of Kiddie.  The boats pulling into Pineville yesterday had no ropes dragging. 

Worse I have ever seen. I am trying Oswego again this weekend

It will be great next October...I look forward to seeing my forum buddies in the church hole or the Altmar hotel....
 

I watch the snow pack reports and weather in general in the west, as it effects my spring trips in some form or fashion. I plan my trips into the Grand Canyon around what seasonal sources may be running from  the collection of melt water from the rim, and hope when I go to fish the rivers in New Mexico they aren't blown from snow melt. As I lived in the now extremely drought ridden Sierra, I also monitor the situation there. So far, the predictions of a strong El Nino year are coming to pass with normal to above snowfall in the mountains and rains in the lower elevations of the Southwest. The ocean temps in the Pacific have been historically high this year creating absolutely bizarre conditions for giant sea creatures to congregate off the coast of Monterey.  The cold Humboldt current that pushes down the coast from Alaska got diverted west by the swell of warm water from the south. Marine biologists from around the world congregated there in August to see the spectacle.  What it should mean for us, if I read the NOAA reports right, is a somewhat warmer winter with perhaps normal to slightly above snow. We shouldn't experience the ridiculous polar vortex crap we had the last few winters as the Jet Stream should be running interference as it normally does, with the added bonus it'll be even a bit farther north.  Ontario shouldn't freeze over again. Ice fishing may be marginal. but it may provide some restoration to all the fisheries the past few winters did damage to.

Great time.
Great scenery.
Great water.
Great fishing.
Terrible catching.
 
Every oak decided it was time to dump its foliage on Fri.
Tough to get a clean drift-swing for a few days I think.
 
Getting ready to do it again next week.
 

Sorry we missed you last time, Ufish.  Maybe in 2 weeks.

Gonna be back up in a week or two to finish clearing the house for the Feb final sale- kinda nostalgic.
Will fish for a day or two as well.
Gotta say I really love Pulaski  and the folks up there.
Its been a great experience although I knew there was an 'end date' when I bought it.
300 mi. each way gets old on the old just to do chores every other week or so year round.
Gonna be a full time POS outa stater again next year.
No work= more fishing time.
Will be there despite how many fish there are- that isnt the main reason I go.
( although it would be nice to catch  freaking fish now and then)

Glad to hear from you PA it's been a while. Me and Charlie were talking about you the other night. Hope all is well enjoy the time in OH.

That DSR report was fish in the middle and slow up and down- likely just a small pod. Hope for more.
Their first real fish report in about a week- slowwwwww
Hate to be such a downer but that the hand we are being dealt.

That's great news jack !!! I sure hope those fish give you all the rewards because they gave me the 1 finger peace sign this year .
The fly zone is an absolute disgrace . Guys are mugging the fish and now even sitting in chairs IN the darn river while fishing or what ever they call it .
3 & me did the float thing and don't you know we stuck 1 fish right where you caught 2 with us back then.
I guess it was just not meant to be for me on that river in 2015.
You go get'em !!!!

Glad you boys got to play with a few 😀👍
Thanks for the 13 sauce 😘😋
