Hey guys I am back and I have a secret. I had a call from a guide up there that there are some fish in the Estuary. If anyone is there check it out. He called my cousin and I and is very reliable.
 
Keep Swingin

Swing I checked it yesterday and didn't see anything but seeing is not always believing with salmon.

You know the DSR WOULD be reporting if they saw one fish. They did report that the hatchery reported "a few kings slipped past us last water release" which was two weeks ago. Does that mean the hatchery had kings up there???????? Maybe, but I am more apt to believe that like most of us know a few stragglers may have gone up through, but they will say anything to put "butts in the seats"

Being my bro-in law stayed out there with his boat, he took a ride up the estuary to park and probably dunk some worms at the trailer hole..
He texed me last night and said "no fish" .. Granted his texting is simple but I took it as no fish around or at least seen by him..
 

Clint there's been a little too much water to See fish in dsr. A friend of mine was fishing the ball park for atlantics a little over a week ago and saw a few kings go by him. As usual there have been some fish but with the water being up no one knows exactly how many. Usually with a 185 flow dsr shows fish when they move through the flat water between clay hole and joss hole. Anything above 285 will usually hide them though. By no means am I saying there are large numbers of fish... Im Just stressing that "seeing" fish is not always proof that there are fish in the river. A friend of mine did see a salmon in the hatchery this past Saturday...

I'm pretty sure I'll be wetting a line tomorrow morning ;)

this is what she looked like yesterday morning when we pulled the plug, it was MUCH worse weds evening with 10 footers.
3 days of heavy west killed us boaters but I'm sure it brought the fishes much closer.. It won't be long..

HEADING UP FRI  JUST TO CHECK IN WITH SOME OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE  GOING TO TRY TO MAKE SOME ROOM ARRANGEMENTS  DIDNT KNOW WHAT THIS YEAR WAS GOING TO BRING IS IF NO PLACE TO STAY GUESS A LOT OF DAY TRIPS
SEMPER FI

Tuna it really is a classic set up for fish to run... 2 days of east wind and then the heavy west winds... And on top of it cold rain and elevated flows... The end of my line will be my deciding factor at this point though :)

Let us know how it goes Dime :)

Yea that's what I meant Dime we all know some fish came through, they always do. Of course the DSR reports every little thing to get more paying folks up there today. Don't get me wrong if I had a pass and I could , I would probably be up there today too.  I put my name on the list last year or the year before I think. I get their e mails now. Do not know if I will ante up or not it will be a tough decision.
