Salmon On in Umpqua?
I am going to go to Sawyers Rapids and try to land some early Fall Salmon; has anyone heard if they are in yet?

FishSchooler, you really need to pay attention to what the post is talking about. He is asking about the Umpqua.
SmallieWorld - I have a few friends who like to fish "The Loop" section and really get the guides itchy. They pull out some real lurches on jigs, alot of big fish actually; and according to them, the run has not "started." That being said, they have caught some Jack, and seen a few "early risers" taken, as well as having a couple big ones on, only to break off on the ever ominous debris in a certain hole they fish. But nothing compared to the peak on that river, past Elkton it gets hot for a while, not so much in the short section of "the loop." Still some monsters roam the Umpqua. Persistence, good gear, and bait is what is sworn by these guys. Give it a little while, maybe as early as a week...It could be better, so they say. Hope you find some of those early monsters that run before the packs down there! Just thought I'd relay some info from some really excellent anglers down there...

Well did you go? I know the fish are there cause they are up here at River Forks like crazy, should be real good for the next month or so. I still haven't been able to get on one cause the damn steelhead keep eating my stuff. Caught about 5 small coho though nothing over probably 3 lbs though.
