Fishing Report Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Good numbers of chinook and coho in the 10 to 15 pound range have been caught right at the Sixth Street Dam. They are hitting on a variety of baits including spawn sacks, Cleo's, rapalas, and stickbaits. While steelhead have been caught, brown trout should be moving into the river in the in the next couple of weeks. The walleye are going strong up near the dam with fish measuring 20+ inches. Good northern pike and bass fishing near Millennium Park.
5150 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Can somebody clarify "good numbers"? Doesn't sound like it could get much better than this, but I find that hard to believe.
steeliefreak Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 These reports always make it sound like its the peak of the run, I would never go by these reports. The water is p!ss warm and there are not that many fish down there, even less that are biting. Either someone is trying to gain business, or the person that gives these reports should have their head examined.
HitMan Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 The DNR creel census employees give all the State reports.
Paulywood Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 That's not necessarily true. The wife of one of my friends works for the DNR. Her office is in charge of writing and issuing the reports(sometimes that's her voice when you call for the report). According to her they receive the information for their reports from baitshops around the state. That is why they are not always the most accurate.
steeliefreak Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 The recieve the report from a baitshop around town here, he is known for stretching reports for business.
HitMan Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 Okay, that is a good thing to know for the rivers and stuff. That's why there is always added information for businesses . I was referring more to the Big Lake reports are done by the DNR creel census employees. Whatever they see, count, and are told, at each port, is what is included in the report.
Waterfoul Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 The recieve the report from a baitshop around town here, he is known for stretching reports for business. Oh yeah they do.... 16 lb walleye my butt!!!

5150 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Shuda, so what you're saying is "good" news travels fast . I got to admit, if nothing else, it is convenient.
