The fish porn saga continues. Pictures from 10/13/10:

Final count was 3 Coho, 1 Big Ole' C&R'd watermelon chum taken on a brads wiggler. What a fun fight on light gear! All fish but 1 coho were caught on Backtrolled Brad's wigglers or Fatfish plugs in a variety of colors. The current was moving slow so the backtroll speed was a CRAWL, deadly!

Ended the day by having a trailer bearing on my boat trailer EXPLODE coming home on HWY2, had to get a flatbed to come and pick up the truck, sucks.... gunna keep me off the water until I can do the repair this weekend.

You should keep a journal of your outings, maybe blog about it. That would be a great read and Im sure plenty of people would come to visit the site. Thanks for sharing, wish I could get out there and hook into some. It s guys like you who keep us motivated.

Fished a few hours this morning and managed a nice chromer.... not a lot of activity on the Snoho we need rain. Most of the fish were pushed up into the Sky and Snoq quite a ways.

Yah, from the looks of the forecast its gunna start hitting tomorrow then just go on and off rain for the foreseeable future. Doesn't looks like its going to all come in one massive event like the last one we had though which is awesome, should provide some real good fishable conditions.

The river finally peaked around 18k and its coming back down slowly now. Looks like its around 16,700 right now. I am hoping that tomorrow's dry spell will let it fall some. If it gets back down to 11,000 I will be fishing on Thursday.
