Slow week end
there were fish scattered top to bottom, but very few willing to take
of the fish i saw hooked, most were snagged.....all but one i saw landed went out on a rope
the hatchery had a bunch of small coho in the pen and a few moving up through the ladder, very few kings
Loads of people, looked like Columbus day week end.

Read where some of the Kings coming into the low end today are full of eggs and 'ready to pop'.
Hope they keep coming-wont be up for at least about 10 days-filled the schedule at home due to fish not running too much.
At least  they are  starting --to whatever level that may be this weird season.
One day does not make a run, so we will hope-----
Good luck to all who get in on  it.

Reports are favorable this morning.  A good run of King's & Coho's are moving through DSR.  It may be late but the big push seems to be happening. 

Would be astonished to see a push that made this season any more than last.
We needed something to even accomplish that.
 At least there is a push of some kind and that is a good thing.
Wouldn't it be GREAT if they kept coming and surprised folks like me who have been so concerned with the health of the fishery.
Good luck to all.

I'm with Jack , I could care less , lol
Well let's hope some are still in the lake waiting for us next June - September 🚣
Good luck to the river walkers

My main joy in this, is that it provides steelies  (and invertebrates) food for them to last the winter. Glad to see. I may go later this month, if it really has happened.

Dropping a report.
Wed was the day I went back and napped.
Fished Pville area late morning til early afternoon.
Saw one fish on a rope and a boat rolled one from a riffle and a client landed it.
Saw some fish hooked at the clam shed.
 
Thurs after the Wed crowd I slept in.
Got p 9ish got coffee and went visiting at Malinda's.
Just before noon wandered to the lfz.
Walked up to the rock and nobody fishing so I started.
Older guy yells at me that one of his boys is fishing there.
He says getting coffee so my response was that now I'm fishing there.
Heard a younger guy (40ish) ask the grump what he said to me after which he explained that they didn't own the hole.
 
Still can't land a fish to save my life.
Four kings and a coho on over the next couple hours none to the beach for pics.
Had enough  salmon fishing and went back to Malinda's  then dinner and back to camp.
 
Thurs night heavy rain starting 1 am and continuing until 6 am with steady rain intermingled with heavy burst after that.
Lucky a break around 8 so I pulled the soggy tent drove around in the rain and couldn't make myself find a spot to fish.
7:50 DSR report said solid movement of kings started this morning.
No updates since.
 
Found a few browns pushing into a small creek to play with and now home again jiggity jig.
 

Thanks for the report. This has been the year of losing fish for me. Man, do I relate.

x2 2bob, except year of lacking fish here... Thanks for the report , sans no pics...
Wishin I was fishin, on ice :)
 
FWI, off topic but I see Sandy pond resorts has a cabin for rent @30.00 pp based on 2 nights.. seems reasonable for anyone needing lodging..

So it seems there has not been much to report as of lately from the salmon country as far as increased fish. Was that " big" push the only good news of the season or are still fish numbers increasing . Just from an outsiders view , it still seems bleak .
I know the hatchery started egg take today . Seems they have an acceptable amount to strip but it also seems by taking eggs now they are not expecting a big increase in more fish . Maybe I got it backwards.
Any rate , if the egg take is commencing, wouldn't you think this is the " normal " time ( I know water temps and such play a factor as well ) the rivers should be full of fish ? Maybe they are and looking forward to 2 b's report.

Bigbear:
Glad you had a great time and the fishing was decent for you guys . Thanks for sharing
