I fished Eagle Creek this morning in that half mile stretch below the hatchery. From as high as you can go to as low as you can go, I saw maybe 7 fish holding in the deepest pools, and they all had lockjaw. They hadn't turned all the way red yet. I saw no old dark fish. I saw no new fish swimming up. Not a single one in the four hours I was there. After flailing the water uselessly at each pool in the rain, I decided to call it a day. I wonder what happened to all the coho. Usually I've seen new fish cycling into the pools, and there's enough water for them to move up, but for some reason they're not there. It was grim.
Seldom have I worked so hard for absolutely no reward. Normally I have to go to my job for that! I expect better from a fishing trip!
