Jack we've gotten so much rain I think we can do without for some time. I haven't been keeping a log or anything but I'd say about the past 2.5 weeks or so have averaged over 1000 cfs release along with tons of run off... Ground was absolutely saturated til just a few days ago

Will likely stay at 750 or more- with runoff- till after the regular holiday 750 release. Havent been to Tug lately but might think with ground saturation and runoff up there it may stay a lot higher than guaranteed minimums for a while- I hope.
Would like to see the natural flood fish return have a chance to get in and drop early as they seem prone to doing with a minimum of harassment. Might be good for any early Hos to have a chance too- they need it-have seen them dropping real early in the lower waters the past few seasons mid river..

Trev... When they were gonna back it down to 335 a little over a week ago the reservoir was close to 100% capacity... They backed it down to 750 for a day instead and I believe brought it up to 2000 shortly after and 1500 for days after. Looks like dry warm weather in the near future. I'd like to think we at least stay above 335 from here on out... 500 or 750 would be nice though

 
Here is an Atlantic caught in the Oswego river.

Okay Clint,when was that picture taken?

The time stamp says around noon today. He "caught" a few salmon too. It has been tough fishing there due to the water releases.

Oswego is always known for early fish just like the salmon river... Not a coincidence I assume since they both were rivers that hosted a large population of native Atlantic's at one time...

Well I went to the hatchery and there were a few up there. Could not say exactly. I will say there were more than 6 but less than 12. Also a few browns up there. 
 
 
Ps the tree is still in the LFZ
 

Well I Could not let a whole day go by without a post so here it is. Went up to Pulaski yesterday and there were a folks fishing here and there. Reports were that there were a few going by with 1 or 2.  Oswego river has cooled down some and got the word a few small steel caught with a salmon here or there

Sounds about normal for end of August,and as always the "run" will begin in about a week or so.
