Got out after work for a few hrs tonight. Drove up to the cement slab but didn't fish. Water was gin clear and one guy fishin the top of the run was hooking quite a few springs but no coho! We fished a few runs above the slide but no luck. Watch for bears we had a close incounter with a black bear to close for comfort! The slide is making the lower river pretty grey! CK

ya those bears up there arent people shy at all :wallbash: they will walk right at you !! can be pretty scary. To bad you didnt get anything CK, you should have tried the lower if with that colour it can be friendly.

Thanks for the report CK. Try the early morning low-middle river if you can and you will be rewarded :beerchug:

That's what I've been told early morninn or just befor dark is best! Maybe its just me but I'm not a fan of fishin in water where I can't see structure! Maybe ill give er a go tomorrow! CK

There is a bear hanging around the hatchery lately. He has been eating the fish out of the spawning channel. :naughty: Watch for them, apprentally they are not very shy of people :wallbash:

As for the fishing time. I don't go out before 6 pm anymore, not worth it in my opinion. The lower and mid river are very fishable, in fact, the water clarity is perfect as the fish dont get spooked now :cheers:

out of city limits, sure why not. and i wont be using a gun anyways, it will be with my bow.

 

[Every Day]

I see.... I wouldn't shoot it anyways, first of all it is probably old and thats why it is picking on easy prey and they second fact that the thing is eating rotting salmon :-X It won't taste very good and has to be prepared professionally so you dont poisen yourself with tricinosus. :wallbash:

Now that would be a sweet day. your limit of coho and a bear. :thumbup:

i dont have to even eat the meat... ill skin it, and take the hindquarters and thats it. im not going to shoot a small or old skinny bear...i have certain standards...there not very high but there there. plus that will be one less bear you fine anglers have to worry about...

A black bear confronted 2 guys I know today on the river. Scary time they say now that its all over LOL.

the bear i have seen across from the slab for the last 2 months has a limp. which is the same one that hook ran into. which is also the same one that snuck up on 3 guys a few days later. i think its the left front paw it looked to be hurt pretty bad. but i agree it would make a good rug. its probably 2-3 years old at most
