Fished from 6:30 - 12:00 this morning. Landed an 8" smolt on a beadhead PT, plus the attached salmon on a black bullet-head wooly bugger (hook was in his mouth, but I don't know if I lined him). A few taps from 1/2-pounders (presumably), but not what I was expecting given the slate grey skies, impending storm and 2500 CFS flows. I was also expecting BWO's, but only saw one, plus a microcaddis, and maybe 2 or 3 smolts rising. Water seems warm for this time of year. Ran into two other guys who had some taps but no hookups. Visited the hatchery Friday. Tons of salmon, but no steelhead (and the staff hasn't seen any yet).
