Fall is coming. Things are
starting to change, Especially with the fishing. Over the last few days there
has been small handfuls of salmon making their way through the lower end of the
Salmon River. Nothing consistent yet but a very good sign, considering it’s the
end of August into early September. The
salmon fishing on the lake has been consistent to very good. All signs are
pointing to a good relatively early start to the salmon season.
Over the past two weeks the
Salmon River watershed has received some heavy rain falls. As result water
flows have been increased to fall minimum water flows of 335 CFS hopefully we
will continue to receive plenty of wet whether so this flow can be maintained.
Water temperatures have also dropped, for the lower river water temperatures
are fluctuating between a low of 68° to a high of 72°. River conditions are
starting to look a lot like fall. If you intend to take a vantage of these
early trickles of fish, planning on starting your fishing day as really as
possible. You will want to take a vantage of the cooler water temperatures.
Also most of the activity will be over by midday. I do personally enjoy late
August early September salmon fishing. Keep in mind we are fishing for a fish
or two. The main salmon fishing traffic has not hit the river yet.
There are still plenty of
opportunities with the local trout streams. With some of the recent rains and
cool night water conditions are improving quickly. By now most of the summer
mayfly hatches are over. However streamer fishing can be very productive
especially at first and last light. Also keep in mind ants and beetles will
continue to be available to the trout, good thing for us dry fly fisherman.
Note;
At this time I still have
some prime September days available these are September 20,21,22,23,24,25 ideal
dates for fishing Chinook salmon and possibly catching a run of Coho Salmon.
We are offering another
fishing option for early salmon season, running from late August to mid
September. This is fishing for salmon in the morning for either Atlantic Salmon
or Chinook salmon depending on availability. Then heading off to the Brook
trout water for an afternoon of trout fishing.
We are also offering two spey
casting classes.
