Hey Kyle ... most will spawn eventually if they're not picked off by nets (read Quileutes) or drug around to death by snaggers (the game warden had a number of stories of this to pass my way today during our conversation).

Many will likely spawn in areas where they may not have intended though ... I've been seeing some spawning activity in the lower Hoh as well as a few redds in the bottom of the Sol Duc today. Not unusual in itself, but usally, we don't see this until later one. I'm making a semi-educated guess that some of the fish that would have gone further upstream had the conditions not been the way they are.

One thing I'm afraid of is that the water is slow low that these fall are all spawning in midchannel right now, and should we have a high water on the heels of this, many of the redds will be scoured.

Send rain please!!
