are still a lot of fish waiting to come into the river. 10/11/11 - The pass couple of day the river has been really
busy the fish are still though out the river and still a steady flow of fish coming into the cleaning station. 10/03/11 - there are more and more fish moving into the top part of the river. Most people had
a good day on Sunday although we did not get the rain we wanted and the fish were rather line shy. There are some big fish
around including this one we hit first thing Sunday on blugs which measured 42" long. 10/01/11 - fall is finally here and the fish are as well. Don and Dave have been out fishing for us
and they both had great days on Friday. We are getting a little rain (I know you guys east and south of have had your share
so please push it our way!) and the temps are dropping and the fish are moving around. The king and cohos are now spread through
the river. 9/30/11 - On Thursday we had some rain which will help the fishing out.
There are fish though out the river now we are getting some good run of Coho's and King's and the Steelhead are there also.
We are starting to get a steady flow of fish coming into the cleaning station here at the SRO now. I am also hearing a lot
of good reports from the lower fly zone now. 9/28/11 - we are finally getting a litle rain. With a little color and flow, the fish shoud be a little
less spooky and the fishing should get much better! Our friends staying at the lodge did well and there was a bunch of Coho's
and Steelhead caught. 9/27/11 - despite the fact that there was a lot of fish sighted in the top of the river, fishermen
did not have a great day landing them. The fish were very skittish as the water is clear, it was sunny and the water is still
running at 335cfs. The good news is that we are expecting some rain the next several days, much cooler temps, and the best
news is of a report of a huge school of fish making it's way up to Altmar! Should be real good in the next few days!
9/25/11 - The fishing in the river is still not what I would call hot and heavy but, there are
nice schools of fish making their way up the river and when you are at the right place at the richt time you can catch a lot
of fish. There are a lot of Coho salmon that are sitting in the deeper holes between Altmar to Pineville. The bonus is that
there are some really nice steelhead in the 10 - 15 pound range being caught with the salmon!

Kings, Coho's and a few Steelhead.
