Found some of the nicest looking water I've seen all season up around Nugents Corner. Threw all the usual assortment of tricks to no avail...spinners, spoons, dick nites, jigs etc. No rollers, no jumpers...may as well have been April for all the salmon I saw.

Hit the sack yesterday as well. Same story for me, threw everything in my tackle box at them but couldn't get a bite. I was downriver a bit hoping to see a fresh run or two come up from the rain.. but nada. The river was looking a little bit better though.

I dunno whether to blame the nets, the weather, the timing or my ineptitude.

I have been watching the net action down near the Marine Dr. bridge, and it is pretty brutal. They string multiple nets all the way across over and over, every day. I would assume that isn't helping, and the river is still very silty. I haven't had much luck at all yet.

I have never seen a single Salmon pulled out of the Nooksack in my entire life. (Used to live on the North Fork). I have put lures right in their faces and have gotten no response. Contrast this with BC salmon fishing and one has to try not to catch fish.

I've certainly seen it happen but not in nearly the numbers of any other river. I've gone 0 for the last 4 years anywhere from Ferndale to the South Fork. Even just a couple years ago I feel like there were 3-4x the number of rollers and jumpers than what I've seen more recently.
