Every fall is different each
fall has its challenges. We are fishing to the same Fish in The same river, but
every fall is completely unique in its own way. This year we had a lot of hot
weather to start out with. In fact I suspect we will still have some hot days
ahead. But the fish are finally coming into the river system. We have recently
had our first real run of Chinook salmon for the year. The quality of the fish
are spectacular both size and condition. Over the coming weeks we should see a
study increase in the numbers of fish running on a daily basis. Looks like
we’re off and running with this falls salmon fishing campaign. Water flows have
remained at a constant 335cfs and I suspect this will continue for sometime to
come. The recent rainfall was not significant enough to cause any amount of run
off. We certainly can use a lot more rain. Water temperatures are starting to
cool off significantly from the previous hot water. Water temperatures in the
lower river fluctuate about 10° on a daily basis. Temperatures can be as cool
as 60° in the morning. Upper river water temperatures are more stable however
as of now fluctuating around 70°. Some cool weather will solve this problem
fairly quickly. As of now most of the fish are in the lower river. It will not
take Long for these fish to be strong out through the entire river system. Also
keep in mind this coming weekend the lower fly-fishing zone on the Salmon River
opens. As of now we’re having the best luck with olive, Black willy buggers, in
size 6 and 4. A little persistent always goes a long way make a successful day
this time of year.
NOTE;
I still have prime dates available for last
minute September 19 just opened up. October I have time available for the rest
of my guide team. November 26,27,29 is open for Brown trout. So if you still
thinking of fishing this fall give me a call I should be able to make
arrangements for you. Cell 585-233-0436
