Hours and hours (~20hrs) at the pier have yielded nothing (not even a bite!), all my creek stomping has yielded one sighting of a spooked fish.
I am going to be so happy when I finally catch one of these darn salmons... cookie cutter or not I want to catch a fish!

But CC , if you've seen how many Chinook have already entered the Notty ...it would be easily in the high hundreds and most are in Hockley by now .Kudos to you guys...but it's still summer...

We found holes loaded with them but they are not interested in hitting , except one guy had a couple on a lure and they got off , that was first thing in the morning when the sun wasn"t a factor.

The salmon that are in the rivers are still ' green ' and have not started spawning , they are waiting for the rain as are the fish in the lakes .I have been so skunked its depressing....

The pier fishing will be intense once we get some rain , the fish get excited when it's raining and become very active . We need rain plain and simple .

Hey Notta
Thanks for the report.
Just wanted to ask you, would you want to be on the river before the rain begins, soon after or wait a day after? The fishing is suppose to be good when the Barometer is dropping, before it rains. Soon after the river will still be clear. A day or two after the river will be higher but stained water so fish won't be spooked. I'm not sure when the best time to go.
Thanks.

Hey Grubman , in relation to your question , if the fish are present in the area you plan to fish , before the rain begins is usually a good call . Fish respond to barometers rising and falling.Hey Notta

While it is raining is also a good time to fish because they ( Salmon ) are anxious to get up river and the drive to spawn is strong , I find it cools the water and makes them more active. Also an overcast day is better than a bright sunny one. Soon after also good before the water really rises and clouds the water, especially for sight fishing.
Then after the rain the fish will be well on their way , the Notty run began in mid July , right in the warmest and lowest possible water conditions , but they still came and went way up too . The spawning instinct is that strong that no matter what the weather and river conditions dictate to the fish , they're gonna come regardless .
We have alot of September left and alot of salmon to come .
