They will be there, for sure. Them grabbing your offering is another story alltogether. I have tentative plans to head down tomorrow night, will let you know the scoop. The only thing I can suggest to increase your odds, is fish between the hours of 8pm and 6am. Its the cooler temps. at night that trigger them to run.

Never fished a night run before...Sounds like it could be a blast or a sprained ankle waiting to happen. Great advice Steady...never thought of it!Steady Eddy wrote:They will be there, for sure.

Fishing isn't a matter of life and death....
It's much more important.

Marshmallows work pretty well for Salmon, I hear. I dont fish half dead Salmon in creeks though, they are too easy to catch. You could be blind with no arms and still have a good day fishing half dead Salmon fishing in a creek.Steady Eddy wrote:They will be there, for sure.

Good day all,
Was on the ganny today and there are a whack fish in, but are sitting at the fish ladder already. the main river had a few in but not too much.Walked from the ball diamond right downtown. need a little more rain and cold night. they are lining up pretty good at the mouth just waiting to head up.

Ya say that today RJ, but I bet you were like the rest of us that went down there like a dirty ole shirt fishin the tribs in our earlier younger daysRJ wrote:Marshmallows work pretty well for Salmon, I hear.

...and don't lie!! I can honestly say I have never done the boot fishing....standing shoulder to shoulder trying to catch black half dead boots just doesn't appeal to me.....TroutnMuskieHunter wrote:Ya say that today RJ, but I bet you were like the rest of us that went down there like a dirty ole shirt fishin the tribs in our earlier younger daysRJ wrote:Marshmallows work pretty well for Salmon, I hear.

One time I did hit a run in the river in late August when we were forced off the lake due to wind....nice fresh fish....I'll admit...that was a freakin blast....and we were on the only ones there....
