I fished a boatload up from the mouth at Clackmette this morning (Sun.) to fish the lower river and our one yankdown may have made us the hot boat rolleyes . A few guides were still trying it without any bites. I think the rain rise during the week sent the fish flying up river with no fresh ones coming in behind them. Rags, 4 of us tried some of my best proven plugs thru runs and into tailouts after backbouncing good eggs in the deeper spots, and they just 'weren't home' today (maybe with a rare exception we didn't hear about). It was bad enough the we cried uncle by mid-morning and went home and watched the NBA playoffs. New fish should be coming in soon I would think - it's early May!
