As I write this this river is in good shape for fish movement. The gauge at Pineville is at 419cfs at a release of 335cfs. This water is being freshened by a decent amount of rainfall over the last 2 days and water temps are hovering around 60-66 degrees depending on where you're at.
Over the past week there has been a steady movement of salmon into the river, most of the Kings with a few Cohos scattered in. Throughout the river there is fish moving in small groups, mostly in the morning in low light conditions and this continues until fishing pressure increases. Most activity as far as hook-ups go is primarily in the 2A to Douglaston area of the river. If your plans are to work around Pulaski, you should be able to get into fish.
We look forward to this annual event and at this point it looks to be shaping up fairly well. As reports spread you can anticipate an increase in fishing pressure, as usual, so if you can get here earlier in the run rather than later you should be able to find some water to yourself, or at least less pressured water.
If it's your first-time back stream wading since last year take it slow, no need to get wet right off the bat.
Hope you get the opportunity to come up this year. It's worth the trip.
Tight lines
