westrate Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 The last 2 weeks produced some rough water (8 to 12 foot) due to winds that exceeded 60 miles per hour. When we could get out, the fishing was very slow with 2 and 3 year old salmon and a few small lake trout that needed to be returned. The water temperature was the same from the surface to 140 foot down and the color of the water was an opaque green due to the rough water. We caught fish 20 foot down and 120 foot down and from 60 foot of water out to 240 foot of water, which makes it difficult to run any pattern. Report from the river was that there is a good population of salmon in the river, but due to the rainfall the river is running high and fishing is slow. The best method for salmon continue to be spawn on the bottom. There are also some very silver steelhead that are showing up in the river and the best method for these is also spawn rolled back through the holes. The fishing reports will be every two or three weeks now since our season is about over and the boat will be coming out soon. I will try to keep you up to date on the river fishing and lake activity as things change or improve. For information, email me at [email protected].
