Hi all, hope summer is treating you great and you can avoid the chores to get some time out on the water! Fishing is still good in the Brewster Pool and below Wells Dam for kings. We are still catching a good amount of sockeye in the Brewster area as well, with a couple kings a trip. Also, the sockeye and kings are both still in very good shape! Below Wells Dam has also been pretty good for kings at times, the season as a whole has been pretty hit and miss, but the guys that stay with it and fish hard are being rewarded with some nice fish.
We are still booking salmon trips for up north and also booking trips for fall run chinook that is forecast to be the second largest run on record at 650,000 fish over Bonneville Dam!! We are booking trips to fish the Hanford Reach for these huge kings now, and we will start fishing them from Sept 1 on.
Now for some steelhead news, the rumor mill is cranking up in high gear with starting date rumors as it always does this time of year, but there my be some VERY good news for all of us who love to steelhead fish — we may see a record-early opener so early I don’t even dare say here on the almighty web, but stay in touch ’cause there could be some huge news very soon!! We are also starting to book steelhead trips and they are starting to fill up in the month of October so get your trip now before it’s too late! I am off to the river; see you on the water.
