Contrary to recent river reports you cannot walk shore to shore on salmon in this area. I checked with local "reliable" fishermen today and they have yet to see or hook a salmon in the area, let alone a dozen or more in a couple of days. I have tested the water and watched it, unless salmon parr count a decent run has yet to start, nothwithstanding a fish sneaking through during the night. I do have one verified report of a salmon taken upriver from Doaktown.
I fully expected to see an early run, that has not materialized so we will revert back and hope that the water holds up long enough to see the June/July run come in. Bring a steak just to be safe.
Our last 2 days in June have been grabbed and that leaves us solidly booked until September and if you check our calander it is booking already so if you are planning on that September/October fishing please let us know as the days are disappearing in those two months.
Our resident fox pups, actually they are our neighbours have dwindled from 7 to 3 plus mum, I don't know what happened to the others but it wasn't cars this year - maybe beavers I see some of them rampant in the area. Saw something different today, a bunch of Merganzers were herding fish to shore when several crows moved into the shallow water and intercepted the small fish.
