I got to the river through the campground at 10:30am to see a man bringing in a nice Chum which he released. He had one bleeding on the gravel, too. Another man down off to the left was bonking one and I saw him fight another shortly after that. The man on my right hooked 4 more (2 got away) and he released 2 within a half hour. Someone I knew stopped by to show me his huge chrome Chum (I thought it was a silver). So I went up to where he was fishing. There were a few hooked but nothing I saw caught after that. I had one on for a few seconds but that was it for me and I left just after 2pm still Chumless. I think the river visibility was about a foot. I was cold but the guides on my rod didn’t freeze. It was foggy just above the trees and occasionally I would see blue sky but it never cleared up.
