Overcast skies in the morning gave way to sunny skies in the afternoon. Coincidentally, fishing action was reported as being better in the morning than it was this afternoon. That being said, this afternoon's fishing was, by any measure, still very good. Numerous anglers that I spoke with reported becoming exhausted by playing large numbers of fish. Mostly Kings, but solid number of Coho as well. A few browns and Steelhead added to the mix. Late this afternoon, the lower section of the run was winning top honors for the most action although the mid-and upper-sections were reporting moderate anglers present and moderate to good fishing success.

Seems like for most of our anglers, you couldn't ask for much better fishing.  While the day had it's ups and downs, most of the run reported fairly good success throughout the day.  This afternoon our river patrol indicated light angling pressure in the upper sections of the property, but fishing consistently, with fish steadily moving through.  Middle sections of the property reported a moderate amount of angling pressure with a mix of Kings and Cohos moving through slowly.  Lower sections of the property indicated the most angling pressure, as well as the most success, catching a mix of both king and Cohos.  It's certainly been quite a year for the Atlantic salmon, with one lucky season pass holder (pictured below) bringing his first to hand this afternoon, fishing the the middle section of the run.

Another nice weather day and the fishing wasn't bad either. Not quite the action of yesterday, but all things are relative. Today was still a very good day with no complaints from our anglers and no shortage of fish movement, hooked fish, and fish brought to hand. A higher concentration of Kings than we have had of late, but there are still plenty of nice-sized Coho in the mix. This afternoons fishing reports indicate that the lower section of the run was the most active with a good amount of hookups. We also had reports of fish moving jumping and moving up from the estuary.

Reasonable temperature, overcast skies, and little wind were the weather factors for the day. Add to that excellent movement of fish throughout the day and we had a day that "it's hard to ask for anything more." Section of the run to fish? Pick your poison. Top to bottom, the reports from our anglers were that fishing was consistently good regardless of the section of the run one was fishing or the particular location (hole) within that section. Kings mostly, good numbers of Coho, with little reports of trout. Significantly more fish were hooked than were brought to hand, but we're talking about, in many instances, double-digit hook ups. I had one regular season pass holder leave around 1:00 say "For the first time this year, I got tired of hooking fish." Another season pass holder, when asked how the fishing was, replied, "If I had to use one word it would be steady. "Steady, consistent good fishing throughout the day, throughout the run.
