The summer runs are hatchery fish although from what I've read they are not planted there but are all 'stray' fish. Mostly smaller fish - I've never caught or seen one kept above about 8lbs. Anybody beg to differ?

From experience the river assumes a milky glaciated hue during the hot days of mid-summer. Has the river been colored lately, Rockhopper?

The river is gonna be extremely low throughout summer and into fall which will make things difficult I imagine.
