The chums are definitely in. It was a wet, but great day of fishing, and people watching. The tides were a little on the high side today, so bank anglers were limited to the sides of the hatchery. ...

I was curious to see if any chums have made their way upstream yet, so I tried up a drift setup and headed to the Auburn area. Water was pretty clear, but moving at a good clip tonight. I fished fo...

I had a free hour today, so I headed over to Metzler to see if there was any sign of life in the water. I hiked in to the main drift, and there were a couple of folks there. Friendly crowd here this m...

Got to Hoodsport hatchery around 07:30, and the line of people wading was already out to the far buoy on the north side. Low tide was a 4.46ft, and around 08:39 today, so it wasn't too hard to get out...
