I fished the upper river (above Vedder Crossing) on Friday and Saturday. Hooked well in excess of 60 fish, probably closer to 80. Unfortunately even dropping down to size 1 hooks, and later adding corkies to help float the hooks up to keep it from under their bellies (and always gently lifting and not jerking at the end of a cast) I still foul hooked probably just over the majority of those I got a look at including a 35 and a 50 that we eventually landed (after a long battle) on Saturday. Actually the 35 was initially fair hooked but while running down the rapids I felt it come loose and "reset" in the side. Lots of fun but as mentioned you need to find the few deep runs to find anything other than chums, or at least that's what I saw. I may head back up tomorrow night (Thursday) and hit it again. Anyone know if they've gotten any worthwhile amount of rain up there??? Much thanks.
