Hey hotrod,

I was there this morning checking out Allison pool and the boundry hole. It was clear until about 3:00, then the water went up about a foot and half after the rain. The water is not clear about 6 inches. I hooked up a lot of springs but couldn't land any, they were too big, my line was too light. Some of these things are over 40 lbs. I did land a couple with a friend of mine on Friday: 30 and 40 lber. I only got 2 spring jacks today before the rain started getting heavy.

I'll try it tomorrow, the water should go down some.

I was up at Tamahi for the weekend and the fishing was very slow. I tend to think I know what I'm doing and can usually hook into a number of fish per day. I saw only 1 coho taken this morning and I released a wild 8lb coho around noon. I had some Buddy's fishing the lower end and they indicated it was dead. The only fish being caught at Tamahi were by the guys fishing the rapids with long leaders so it wasn't very hard to tell that 9 out of 10 fish were foul hooked. Which would explain why I saw CO's issuing fines and confiscating fish Saturday. Hopefully the river will drop and clean up for you as well as some fish moving up stream.

cheers.

Thanks alot fellas!

You're making it awfully tough to say no! I know I can hook fish in low vis conditions but it's not alot of fun in zero vis.

yeah the river is high and dirty. From what I hear the snow melt is doing most of the damage, since it was mild today that low snow pack is melting and running into the river :-\

 

[DMW]

Well, the river is on the way up judging by the graph, but I am gonna say it will be fishable by morning, but maybe not for long. I am going out there first light anyways.... hopefully I am at least a little bit right!! ;D

 

[tazzman]

its a guarantee for me,what else could happen?...i break my record of no springs or coho :cheers:

Keep trying... youll get it. And when you get that fish on, it'll all be worth it :cheers:

I fished the morning in the Peach Road/Lickman area. No too many fishermen ( and everyone I talked to was pleasant :thumbup- but I did not see one fish brought in.

 

[tazzman]

i dont know what the area is called but u turn left on boundary off #3 road coming from the highway and right on keith wilson and the road just before the tracks

 

[thebrodz]

I fished the lower and upper on Monday.....wow what a gong show....so many cars in all the popular spots.....we did a lot of walking to get away from the crowds.....saw a beauty spring caught in the lower along with a few pinks (all boots) and a coho.....nothing for me...boooooo....upper was crazy busy....found some nice water but again nothing.....heading back up tomorrow for another go at it.....cant wait to hit a big spring.....

 

[89RS]

Fished the lower yesterday. Found a nice little piece of slack 'coho water', and worked it for about 30-45 mins, to no avail. walked downstream about 100yds, looked up, to see someone moving into the spot i just vacated. Within 5 mins, he landed 2 chromers...couldnt tell if ho's or jacks. just my luck.
I swear that river system has it in for me.....

 

[roscoe-pco]

Heard on my radio today that certain groups we will say, has had a commercial opening for coho, kinda explain the lack of fish the last couple days.
