Rode the few miles to Snag, mostly for the view. Hey, I live in a beautiful part of the world and its Spring!
This season could be a bust. Water levels are still high and visibility is back down to 2.5'. Good for the fish bad for the fly fisherman. I bet things are better on the coast where rivers clear/drop faster. I did get one nice picture from Tom a few months back. The fact I have not heard another peep leads me to believe, things must be pretty hot. One thing gives me hope for the Russian is, there were so few fish early on, maybe the run is late.
I'll try again in a week.

Wet year. Sometimes all a river wants to talk about is water.
March 28
Finally, the water has cleared up. There is actually about 5' visibility. Its still high but I had a chance. One grab at Snag, it could have been a trout or, maybe not. More rain on the way.

First day back after rains. River was more brown than green (cafe au lait) about two foot visibility but dropping fast. Warm sunny day fished Memorial near fish ladder and 'Snag Hole' 2 miles down from Dry Creek. Seals were in both places so the fish were there but not for me.
Jan 18
Will and I rode down to 'Snag'. 'Fashion' fished and rode our way back up river. Water still high , 3 foot visibility. Heard of one fish caught. Fellow fisherman talk of few fish in the river - 800 at the hatcheries. River dropping fast.
Jan19
Get in before the rain. 3 foot visibility. Flotilla of drift boats (see pic). Saw one downstreamer caught. River dropping.
Jan 23
Lack of heavy rain encouraging- river dropping and clearing. Season waning, fish counts low, this could be as good as it gets this year. River has 5 foot visibility mostly green in color. Few fishermen out. Caught a couple of smolts/halfpounders.
