Back home, with a week of vacation left. Went to the barrier dam to see what's happening. Actually got to fish the hatchery intake swimming pool (I just made that up-but that's what it feels like I am fishing) but didn't see much to get excited about. One angler got a chrome summer steelie below the pool, and I saw a big chrome fall chinook porpoise out of the water. No bites, though. Tried spoons, jigs, and corkies. A couple guys were using eggs under floats, but never had any bites. Surprising number of people all the way down to the launch for a week day. River is extremely low. Sorry I don't have better news...
