can anyone let me know if they have seen any up there yet?

It won't be any secret when they show. The board will be full of smelt reports even when a small pilot run shows. Just keep watching the board. Word spreads fast.

Acording to the local paper today,there was one(1)smelt dipped by a comercial dipper at the mouth of the Cowlitz.But my brother told me tonight that there are plenty of happy gulls down his way,in Astoria,getting their fill,so they are on the way.

I heard from a friend today they saw a large bunch of gulls feeding around the astoria bridge, so hopfully they will be on there way soon.
