Salmon River fishing report - October 1-7, 2013

The water levels have been consistant with a 335cfs release and average 412cfs at Pineville gauge.  It spiked yesterday to 609cfs due to the all day rains we had here yesterday, it is however on the drop right now as run-off eases back.


Large numbers of fish equal large numbers of happy anglers.
The salmon are in full spawning mode in all the traditional spawning areas.  There are a lot of fish, and a lot of anglers.  Most fisherman are doing well on the 'catching', some are doing well on the 'snatching' too.  There are still very good numbers of salmon entering the river and making their way upstream.  This has kept the action steady and productive.

The weather has been beautiful and the forcast is for continued fair weather.  The temps are staying cool at night helping the fish survive the low water.

Hope you get an opportunity to get up here in the next 2 weeks as the fishing should continue to be very good.  Here are a few highlight from the last week.
