I hit the Kalama hard on Friday. Nada. Not a hit. I started at the Red Barn Hole around 5:30am and continued downstream. Most of the holes had anglers. There wasn't any space to be found. There were plenty of drift boats as well. I saw one fish landed - in the lower river below Modrow. I pitched eggs and shrimp mostly. It was a disappointing day. I heard most of the fish were being caught in the canyon. I tried fishing at the deadline but no luck there either. Saw one guy lose a big one and heard a couple springers were taken at dawn. But nothing was moving for me.

Didn't see any cougars either........ wink
