Not much going on tonight. Saw one boat take and release a nice Chinook, but no other activity noted. The most interesting part of my evening was when I had my boat beached at the entrance to a side pool, and was throwing spinners and jigs at the biggest group of rolling fish I saw all evening. I had a nice Coho follow the jig up to within about three feet of the boat and in two feet of water when a harbor seal exploded up from the bottom in a huge swirl of water and mud, and chased the salmon out into the main stem. I have no idea whether the salmon escaped or not, but I hope he did. Needless to say, after that little show, the rolling in that pool stopped. Stupid aquatic mammals...

In addition to casting spinners and jigs, I spent some time trolling plugs in both directions, all without a single hit. There were some fishing rolling, but not in large numbers. Really a slow night.

On a positive note, tonight was my first river trip in my new sled, and I brought it home without any rocks or stumps sticking out of the hull. So far, so good...

(By the way, I was fishing from the Snoqualmie/Sky confluence down to the rock outcropping just above the 522 bridge. )
