The long range forecast is for cooler temps,it's not long now!!

They are also into nice browns over 200fow running copper line.
Sadly, I've been seeing big coolers full of browns so us bank anglers miss out.
Haven't seen a good brown run and spawn since 2009

I heard that there are lots of browns this year,maybe a good run is in the works?

So I coordinated my salmon date with my son. We will be coming Wednesday evening Sept 26, fishing Thursday and all day Fri, leaving for home Fri evening. Staying in a tent somewhere. If your at cannons, I can call and see about camping there.
He has been bugging me to take him and that's his available days.

Yes I'll be at Cannons 9/22 to 9/28,back again10/16 to 10/20.if the browns show in force may go again later for them and the Steel.

October will be tough, probably sitting in a tree.

That's great Rich,can't wait to see you and the SR,getting itchy and will be sorting thru my gear soon.First I have some chores to get out of the way now that the monsoons have ended.

I was up on the Tug Hill about 7 miles north of the river all last week until yesterday.  The lack of volunteers and the myriad tasks associated with setup of a 40 target 3D bowshoot kept me from doing the scouting and fishing I had planned for afternoons, but I did  speak to a couple of angler/guides in the know at the bowshoot.  Our club's Director of Security was an oldtime friend of Mr Moose, Moose taught him to row on the West Branch of the Delaware, and who used to stay with Moose at Sportsman's.  My experience with this gentleman is that he does not exaggerate or embellish.  He said he was at the Hatchery on Friday, and there were 10 salmon finning in Beaverdam just below the ladder.  The other individual, who owns the Midriver, the old Brenda's, charters on the lake and said they have been catching dark fish mixed in with the bright ones for 2 weeks.  Coming home yesterday, I detoured off 81 to retie my canoe, and took 2 over to 13 to get back on 81, and there was a car at the Compactor, this was about 2 PM.  Three weeks ago, I heard Andy Todd, who heads up LO fisheries for Ontario, say that they had had a run of about 250 matures go through the ladder on the Ganeraska in the third week of July, that's early.  So a push could come any day now, and there are scattered fish coming in every day now. DSR and All Seasons reports also echo this information.

When I had my place up there ( I miss it) -used to commonly make early to mid August walks on the lower river from up around 81  into town.
Generally it was casting and casting into pockets from 81 to the lower needle-usually all alone too. Don't recall ever catching  a King- just some bass and chubs- but it was fun to do and once in a great while ya would actually see an uncooperative King--- and lots of snakes.
Did I  mention casting and casting and casting and casting for naught--lol.
Just to prove ya don't have to catch anything to have a great time---
There was the day I could barely hear the live music from the town Green and I was walking a high spot  ( wrong  side).
Looked down into a pocket, a King tail showed and as luck would have it, there was a spin fisherman walking up the other side.
I shouted over that a fish was in the pool far below me and he came right to the pool.
He threw his egg imitation into the run above the pool and it disappeared in the depth only to reappear rising quickly at the tail.
Just as quickly a nice bright king dashed from the depth and turned to chase the egg =-taking it hard and fast and running downstream -FAST.
Fortunately the guy had a light drag and the last I saw either of them they were moving quickly down river.
About a dozen Kings blasted out of the pool going every which way.
GREAT memory.
