Good Fish’en and Good Luck but remember:
“Keep your tip up with a tight line lands fish.”
- What Will Our Salmon Fishing Look Like?We are still in an “Over Fishing” rating by the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC). The PFMC will meet in March to come up with the recommended choices for Fall Chinook salmon quotas for the 2021salmon season, then in mid or late April the PFMC will meet and make the “Fall Run Chinook salmon” …
- Possible Drought ConditionsRecent storms have brought us lots of rain but our snow pack is still below average and water content. This is not good news for both water storage and spring water flows. We could be into a designated “Dry Water Year”. I hope not as we could still get more snow from coming storms. …

- Winter Like Weather But it is Not Winter Yet?We are seeing more rain and the rivers are finally showing some changes. The Trinity did not come up a lot but enough to see a difference and possibly start the winter run of steelhead moving. At least I hope so. I was down to the river this morning and there is some color to …
