Salmon River report and local trout streams

As I write this the Salmon River flow is 810 cfs. at 500 cfs. release.  This is scheduled to run till Saturday evening.  The recent release over Labor Day saw salmon pushing into the river, Kings mainly with a few Coho in the mix.  The current increased flow can only encourage fish to continue to enter the river.  Another plus is the temperatures over night have been hovering in the 50's this past week or so, all good.  Most reports are focusing on the river from Pulaski down to the Douglaston, however, with the flows we have you will find decent numbers in any of the bigger pools from Sportsman down stream.  My moneys on the Birdhouse.  Tomorrow's full moon (Sept 8) means that the next full moon will see the salmon run peaking and will stay there for the week of October 8th.

18" Fish Creek brown trout.

Local streams are prime right now for big trout.  I have been spending a couple evenings a week on local streams and prior to dark the fishing is explosive.  I have been fishing only 1 fly for the past 2 weeks, size #18 Adams parachute and have been 'killing' them (not literally).  I have been landing 10- 12 trout in 30-40 minutes of fishing and loosing as many.  4-5 browns per outing are in the 16"-18" range.

Now is the time to make your way up here for salmon or trout.  Have a good season.
