Well, we’ve been giving it a good try, but I’m pretty sure our favorite salmon fishing spot has pretty much had it for the season. The water levels have come up a couple feet, but the fish were not biting today. We didn’t even get a nibble and we didn’t see any fish caught. There was a pretty decent surge of salmon over the big downstream dam, but no evidence of that today.
The weather is cooler in the morning, but pretty darn nice; makes you want to go fishing. We may have had our last go at the home spot, but there is one ace in the hole to play.
There’s a shot at the late arrival Chinook salmon, hope they keep coming. Then, there are the “pretty rare this year” Coho and “fish of ten thousand casts” Steelhead, so we have that going for us. At this point in the season, any fish would be a victory. Thing about this kind of fishing is that you could catch the fish of a lifetime tomorrow, even if you haven’t caught anything all week.
