Been another great week out here! Water is getting LOWWW. We should see a great push of fish if we ever see any rain..... Been a dry one so far! There are still chrome bright coho out here to be killed along with the start of hatchery steelhead we are finding sitting behind the coho. Again more steel will show with a decent rise!
