Is it too early to bring alot of fish up into the coastal streams if we get enough rain? It seems like I had a really good day on the Salmon three or four years ago with an early rain, but that was the first week of September- swarms of chinook splashing over hatchery falls- amen.. HT

Frustrating, cuz I bet there are fish up the Nehalem, but how to fish for them?
No bait restrictions till the 1st.
Check regs for specific rivers.

Deadline-- Miami Foley Road Bridge.
Spinners? What are those, Tanner?
2.4 inches of rain, the river is up and muddy!
Driftable!

We are going to top 4 inches pretty quick, if we continue raining till midnite.
It's simply amazing!
The Kilchis River has risen 2.3 feet.
There's gotta be fish comin soon!

HT,
I remember that early ran over in september. It was 4 years ago. I was on the Salmon the day it dumped all that rain. I had to leave but my buddy cooned the chinook for 4 days afterwards. I bet there are enough fish now to make it worth a trip up there.

Ive been up in Kalama since sunday. Yesterday the fishing picked up for steelhead. This morning a guy brought in a steelhead and silver jack. The river was on the rise. Rumor has it there are a few silvers poking in. Last I heard they had trapped 124 chinook below Modrow bridge. This rain should be the kick off for the silvers. I will give a complete report next week. Pray for more rain!!!!!
