My report is that I have nothing to report. Lol. Ended up working Saturday, and had to help a co-worker on Sunday. I did make it over to swisshome, but did not pursue salmon. However, it was a good reconaissance mission. Every trail I use for winter steelhead on the upper Siuslaw was madly overgrown so I performed an all out machete assault and cleared some overgrowth. It was good to see the river level however, I now know there is no hope for any "upper" river fishing until we get about 6 inches of rain. Or more. Very low. Fishing the tidewater from the bank is a no-go, so that's not gonna happen. So I'm left with nothing to do but pray for rain to push the fish up to the bank acccess. Once again the river is closed for fishing above the confluence of lake creek, and lake creek itself is closed, so it's pretty limited if you don't have a boat. Thank you snaggers for messing it up for the rest of us.
I did take my fly rod and tossed a few flies, and hooked up with a couple cutties on lake creek, so the day wasn't a total loss.
Is it November yet?
