I know what you're talking about. I've got a hole that people walk by and ignore, Theres atleast 100 fish in it..
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

I honestly don't believe that there will be many coho in the Wallace river section that is opening sept 16. We have had basically no rain to push fish all the way to the Wallace and even if there are any coho in there good luck trying to get them to bite too many kings in the way. But you never know so I guess we will be waiting for your reports if you guys do write a report

i saw em live in seattle, best concert for sure, die antwoord is awesome. but nah im not "targeting kings" im gonna have 12 lb and 10 lb, im going for silvers, just saying im probubly gonna hook like 10 kings for every 1 coho, the ratio is in kings favor, but not targeting em. if one gets on my line, nothing i can do but fight it quickly and release it and hope for a coho.

Quick answer. No. Any holes on the lower are pretty much hikes as far as i know, Actually thats pretty much every hole...

Don't be surprised if you see a sign right at the intake that states closed waters to 400' ft below intake till Oct. 1st...... Been that way the last couple of years to try and get the kings in the shutes....

The Wallace will open Oct 16th but just the section from the intake at the hatchery and 400ft below is normally closed...

Fish will come regardless of rain or not.... They will trickle in untill we get rain, then they will all come at once....
