Yeah trev, I'd be shocked if its cancelled... too much water for too long this summer and they did a good job of throttling it down or up when necessary.

Tuna, I'll do my best ;)

I read that post about the labor day release.
Since I didn't ever see it ion waterlineI think it was an innerweb joke.
An attempts to make lurker dumbies not to flood the river more than salmon. 
 
Don't remember the prediction Nosridimus.

About those floaters.
The temp was in the low 60s and the water felt cold when I wet waded.
As I got used to it the temp seemed to even up.
A report from a reliable source said morning water temp Tues was 69.
Within the comfort range for kings with a slight raise during the afternoons getting to the upper limits but still tolerable for most.
Now add to that the number of jalorms on other sites claiming 50 -100 hookups (just guessing but I'll bet a couple of those may have been foul hooked). Playing a  fish head down in the current drowning them is probably adding a major stress to fish at the upper edge of their range.
Playing a fair hooked fish hard and taking a few seconds (minutes) to revive them probable will still kill an occassional fish but most should survive.
Getting back to temps in the 70s with nights in the upper 50s and low 60s should keep it that way.
An over night rain at this point would be  of great benifit.

its shaping up to be another interesting season..... it was good to be up and feel a fish on the line, also to enjoy some time on the river without seeing anyone else

We were just recently in Watertown for softball and they were saying how dry it has been which is nuts because here on the east side of the state we have had our share of rain. But rain or shine high or low waters they will come as we all know.

Ugly, we've had more than a fair share of rain but it has been average seasonally dry for the past month. I don't really think its worth the gas to check the res at this point. I'm sure there's enough water and they aren't coming to come... they already have...lol!!!

Two b, your 100% correct, yesterday was the almost the warmest water temp all summer besides the heat wave last month

Tend to agree with Bob on that- kinda why I asked if anyone else had heard of it  -and couldnt find it posted anyplace.
 HEY- just took a look at the Web Cam and the needle has some guys on it and the water is UP a bit from the past few days too.
 Game ON.
 YES -checked the Waterline and it still says 185, however, the gravel bar on the South side is no longer visible and  under a bit of water.

Didn't witness it myself but a firsthand reliable source said ball park and upstream was flooded crowds wading deep in to the oxygenated lies... yes there were some fish he said but really??? Thank god mid September is only 3 weeks away and my itch will have been completely scratched... bring on a long hard cold winter with plenty rainbow tinted mirrors to blind my vision off the snow bank reflection
