Fish now!!!
Fish now!!!
134 fish over the falls at last I looked. It is alittle behind but not out of the question. They won't announce weather or not they will let us fish until they know we have all bought our tags first, then they close it. until ODFW comes out and says so its two a day with the third a clipped steelie. They can't close it and not tell people. I heard they expect 32,000 over the falls, which may keep it open, but who knows what those yahoos are gonna do.
Just a time frame comparison using 4/15 as a measuring stick
'08...78
'07...450
'06...134 (12th)
If things hold up I expect to see a decent surge over the falls when the water reaches 54 degrees (ocean temp). Also the numbers so far are also spot on for this time in '06. I don't see a need to worry till the middle of may, and considering they are running three weeks late (the summer steelies are exactly 3 weeks to the minute from what I am told by the hatchery guys) we might be catching chromers well into late july.
