The water is amazing as far as clarity goes, but as far as the bite goes...there isn't one. Tried jigs, spoons, spinners, eggs, and had no response to anything. A decent number of fish moving here and there, but nothing hitting.
Was fishing between Fishtrap creek and the guide.

Ya that's how it's going for me as well seeing quite a few fish they just got the lock on their jaw. Seems the water has dropped too. Dont think that's helping either.

fish are not on the bite, rain is what's needed even though it's come down to GIN CLEAR waters... The cold night are definitely clearing the river... I had in interesting thing happen to me and my son this past weekend, found a NOOKSACK TRIBAL NET thrown up on the bank that had approx 10 dead pink salmon in it, took pictures, reported to WDFW and even provided the vehicle that was involved... Once again the WDFW didn't do a thing.... Its a NATIVE ISSUE THAT'S NOT HANDLED BY WDFW...... If anyone wants proof of what the natives are doing I HAVE IT......

DJ, you need to provide those photos and info to the tribal nooksack "enforcement", or whoever is supposed to be maintaining oversight. Might not hurt to start pooling evidence like this and bring a case to the federal court.

Tribal enforcement is like sticking your wet finger in a light socket with the power off, nothing happens..... They collect info and stash it in a drawer with all the others... They consider it a tribal right to fish, and therefore unenforceable.... its a joke but its the truth....

Save the pics like dude said the more evidence that can be brought that is showing that this tribe is not even following their sustainable and quote un quote use of all the animal tradition bring it before a federal judge the more people that make a stink to the feds the more attention it should get as well as getting other tribes involved nit all the tribes are wasteful and disrespectful as the lummis are.
