It has been sometime since my last update, in fact way too
long. A lot is starting to happen. The Salmon River has been receiving small
runs of salmon over the past three weeks. However as we all know when it comes
to tributaries fishing conditions do change quickly. Over the past weekend,
there has been a sharp slowdown in the pace of the fishing. I contribute this
to the warm weather we have been in joying over the past week. A little
weather, some rain, and the salmon will be right back to the normal routine. Judging by the upcoming weather reports this
should be happening in the next couple of days. Also over the past weekend the
conservation water releases on the Salmon River, has begun. This means minimum
water flows will go from 185 CFS to 335 CFS.
This increase will
normally trigger a run of salmon. However this weekend the fishing was
extremely slow. Whatever reason, the salmon decided to not show up. What fish
were already in the river quickly moved into fly fishing zones. For now most of
the salmon are located in the upper fly zone. Keep in mind that the lower fly
zone will not open until mid-September.
What is
going on with the trout fishing? We had a incredible
month of August. Most years I have shut down trout fishing operation, due to
low warm water conditions. These low water conditions are typical for us month
of August. This year the water conditions have been exceptional. Most of the
fishing is concentrated in the mornings and evenings. Small may flies in the
morning size 22 and 24 in the evenings try fishing with ants and beetles.
Not:
I am now
booking dates for September and October. I still have a few days open for both
months. However if I am booked on the days that you would like. I have a couple
of great guides that will be working with me this fall. More about this guides
later. If I am too busy to fish with you, I can make the arrangements for you.
