I've been on the river everyday since the opener and so far it has been an ok season. I have walked out everyday with my 2 kings and either 1 or 2 silvers each day except for 2. The only gripe I have this year is that the kings are runnin small. I've been on the river my whole life and these are by far the smallest kings on average I've ever seen. I have only landed 2 over 30# and have only seen 3 others over 30# . The trade off has been the early run of bigger, more aggressive silvers which has been fun. We are seeing more and more idiots who are using braided line in here and that stuff has no business in a river like this one. Every hole in the river is going to hold fish and I get people asking me everyday why I am catchin fish and they are not. The answer to that question is location. If you read the water and think a little like a salmon, you will be just as successful. I've caught fish from Voights creek all the way to the mouth. If you are drifting corkies and yarn, only drift where the fish are and don't long line as you are only wasting your time. Shorter drifts and more casts in this river will catch you more fish off the bars and off the deep sides you can get away with the longer drifts. Eggs, spinners, plugs, and corkies and yarn have all produced for me this year so far and when the river clears up, I will put my corkies away and it will be a bait/hardware show. I will have a lot of pics to post in the coming weeks when I get my film developed. I hope this report helps and am happy to help anyone catch more fish. So if you have any questions, just ask.
