I fish the Barrier Dam almost daily, the last bright summer run I got was 8/11 & have picked a several recycles (dark but OK) since & I saw 1 rather dark steelie get caught 8/22/02, catfish dave said he got 2 bright hens in the am on 8/24/02 but I never saw 'em. I saw 1 "wild" one get thrown back 8/24/02 & other than that, no one got any steel head on 8/24/02. The situation is that there are many DARK SNAGGLED TOOTH springers clogging up the fishery & all day long people are walking these black beauties 1/2 down to the boat launch to save their steel head gear... the concensus is --> outside chance this week end the fall chinook will be here but most likely not productive until 1st week end in Sept.....
