"The report this week is generally "slow". We are in the August doldrums with warm water. Fortunately, the water levels are reasonable, although down. There are few fresh entering the system. Most anglers are waiting for the fall runs to begin." (Doug Underhill's weekly River Report)
As for fishing the above quote pretty well says it although we are actually seeing salmon on the surface working through and the water is cooling off by the day and not a bad temperature at this time. I see a number of fishermen in a home pool just down river, but hooking and hooking/playing/releasing a fish in this water would stress them badly and as most are salmon this year it would be better to wait for the water to cool more. That "fall run" should start in the next few weeks we are nearly into September.
Fall is one of the best seasons, cool nights, warm days, just too short a season.
