It's too early, but...

I just called the FPC, and I'm not the only one to question that number..... look at the wild component. it's the lowest I've ever seen by percentage. The previous 7 days was 29-42%. Yesterday was sub 9 (8.7). I am guessing it's error imput but lets hope not

Hmm, looks like a possible goof to me. Guess we'll see if they keep it on there.

Even if it is a good we’re still doing better than last year

Unclipped is matching 10 year average-


The Steelhead overall is still jacked up and they haven't reported 6/27 yet. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say by tomorrow or Thursday they'll have it fixed and it will probably line up with 10 year trend. But...fingers crossed that spike is real. Hopefully springers set a trend!

It looks like a bad number to me. The number of sockeye going over Bonneville is nuts (30-40K/day the last couple of days). I'm willing to bet that some of the sockeye were miscounted as steelhead.

sssssshhhhhh, lets not draw attention to ourselves over here.

Thanks for posting these.

Sockeye are going crazy! I might need to buy some downriggers.

 

[Long_Rod_Silvers]

I'm optimistic.

With good reason.

Downriggers aren't the preferred method. Either plunk spin n glos with coon shrimp tight to the bank or troll kokanee rigs on banana weights in the Brewster pool.

Has anyone ever tried lead-core line on fly rods in a place like the Brewster pool or Lake Wenatchee? I know guys do for kokanee.
I have some stashed somewhere from a Lake Sammamish experiment.
Might have to throw it on a spool and experiment pulling it around on the 8wt.

If you really want to catch them, and they are tasty little shits, plunking is the way. We’ve been doing quite well this year.

So is there a chance in hell the Methow opens this year? I’ll be there if hell freezes over.

Yeah right. Most those fish will swim past all 4 lower snake dams.

Actually those fish will swim past the snake river dams. That’s because they take a left turn before they get to the snake river dams.

The sockeye for sure, steelhead not so much.

Should hit the magic number for a D season tomorrow. After seeing the canyon water for the first time in 10 on a May trout trip I'm pretty excited to go back in the fall. Plus I'll be able to go trout spey fishing again soon.

Looking like it was indeed too early.
