I went 3 for 7 yesterday and buddy went 0 for 2.Seen 1 other fish hooked today on the river so slowing down for us but probally be able to go hook into a few more before switching totally to summers. I ended breaking two off once they hit the main current and turned there heads down stream that we didn't get to see and my 10lb maxima had enough.Had every season under the sun as well today where we were which seemed to turn the fish off on us.As soon as wasn't raining or snowing the fish would start rolling and move up for us but when liquid hit liquid nada.Never had this happen before just thought it was intresting.

thanks brandon on the fish handling yeah we really try to take care of our natives and handle with care. we have seen other people hold them by there gills and drop them on the ground and rocks then just throw back into the river with out reviving and usally we say stuff to the people doing that because the guys I fish with respect these fish and most would rather go and feel these fish fight then go somewhere and get hatchery fish that peter out in couple minutes.

yeah i hear ya there man. those wild fish will rip ya new one, not that i have anything against bonking a hatchery fish, if i caught one id bonk it but i would rather target wild fish hands down..harder fight and knowing you fooled a wild fish into taking your offering is very rewarding plus the fact that your holding a fish that managed survive the rivers blowing out, evade predators and eat until they got so big is pretty damn cool. it's crazy how many fish are in that system this time of year, some people think salmon holding in deep pools is a ton of fish if you had x-ray vision and looked in that river you would sh*t your pants :lol:

Don't give up yet!!! Last year rocked until mid-may!

Looks like the Burrito hole has been pretty good for you guys! That flat your fishing in these pic's holds lots of fish when the river is up! I might hit Colliding to Whistler's tommorrow, lot's of fish still moving up.....but.....the springers are coming!!!
