Ugh. I was planning to wait until Saturday to go fishing (a little rain coming Friday with nets out), but if what Rivrguy is seeing doesn't change before the nets get pulled, we might be shut down before the weekend. Thinking I had better get out there some evening very soon. I expect to get skunked, but I at least need to give it a go before it closes.

I do wonder what's going on. All indications were good for a strong run, right up until it was supposed to arrive. I've also seen a lot of very small fish among what I've seen caught, which makes me wonder if they ran out of food off the coast or something else ocean-related is happening. Finally, I'm concerned that I haven't seen any chinook so far. I don't target them and rarely catch them, but usually, by September, you can see kings flipping around in the deeper holes along the lower tribs, and I haven't seen any I can recall so far.

Well, for now we wait.
