River fishing heating up

Filed under: Fishing Reports

Well, after a week of struggling for a few fish each day on the river, they finally started to act like Salmon and bite our plugs.  The action was the best early but we had random bites throughout the day.  The fish are spread from top to bottom.  A bunch of fish moved through the lower end yesterday, including some Cohos and Steelies.

Lake season almost over.

Only a couple of lake trips left.  Here are some photos from some trips last week.  All the Salmon are in front of the River at this point and that is where we spend our time fishing.  Flatlining J-plugs and Orcas and fishing glow spoons off the riggers have produced fish.

River fishing getting better.

We only have a couple trips left on the lake.  River season is in full swing.  Fishing is ok but not great.  The best action is early in the day.  After that, things slow down.  Most of the fish are holding in the bigger pools but today, we did take advantage of a couple of fish in the shallows with flyrods.

Ending the lake season and starting the river.

We have had a busy lake season with its ups and downs,we are looking forward to fishing the river oct- dec.Fish are being taken in 10 to 20 feet of water in front of the salmon river. Large j-plugs and mag size spoons in any of the glow colors will work. Troll your flat lines back 150 feet and spoons off the riggers 50 to 75 feet.

Mixed bag again.

Yesterday found us fishing in 80 to 90 feet of water on the south shore line between catfish creek and nine mile point. White/green glow and black/glow spin doctors with green and hammer flys took most of the fish.The dipseys worked back 220 feet and a 15 to 20 foot strech on the on the downriggers.High winds are keeping us off the lake today, we will see what tomorrow brings.

Inconsistant?

The last few days, have been a rollercoaster ride.  As the weather goes up and down… so does the fishing.  The changing wind patterns have killed us.  Yesterday morning was tough for everyone involved.  We had one trip out and managed to capture 3 Salmon fishing right in front of the river.  In the afternoon, we had the other boat out and managed to catch 6 Cohos from one spot.  I do mean one spot… a tiny spot.  This spot, was loaded with Cohos.  More that I have seen in one spot in almost 20 yrs.  To catch only 6 was puzzling.  If not for the boat traffic, I think we could have caught them at will.  Today was just as up and down.  We caught fish in the morning on one boat, and in the afternoon on the other.  Weird.  We need stable weather.
The stiff 25 mph. South wind we had today, won’t work.

There movin in!!

We fished 10 to 20 feet of water today, in front of the Salmon river. Flat lines with glow green and green/yellow j-plugs worked, also the flounder pounder spoon on the rigger down 6 feet caught fish. Fish were also taken in 70 to 90 foot of water off the Salmon river.There’s a huge load of fish coming in from the north, should be a great weekend.

Still lots of Salmon.

Yesterday large numbers of staging kings and cohos were lurking in 70 to 90 feet of water from the mouth of the salmon river to the north dune.A good early bite took place,followed buy slower fishing then the last couple of days.White and green E-chips and spin doctors with crazy fish and hammer flies made up the menu.Dipsy divers 180 to 210 feet out on a 3# setting took several fish.

Hot, hot, hot! The fishing and the weather.

The Salmon fishing was great again today.  The place to be was 75 - 80 feet of water from the Salmon River to Sandy Pond.  Dipsys back 190-200 feet and downriggers 65-80 feet down.  Green and white e-chips with hammer and crazy fishflys were the hot ticket.  Green-glow spin doctors were hot as well.  We had to deal with a hard 30+mph South wind, but the fishing made it worth it.  A mixed bag of Kings and Cohos made up our catch for the day.

Some more Salmon from the last couple of days.

The average size of our fish this year has definately been larger.  We have had several fish in the upper 20lb to low 30lb range.  We have also started taking some nice Coho’s as well.
