Me and two buddies floated the 7400 long drift Saturday. We hooked 9, boated 7. All dark really trashed natives except for 2, of which one was a very surprising bright chrome hatchery hen about 10 lbs. and the other a dark hatchery hen about 6 lbs. Pretty slow for this time of year. In years past in the month of march we usually have double digit days of not only hooking but catching. The fish were really dark and really beat, looking like last run fish. We saw some spawning beds but not near as many as last year. The water was very very low and clear and we saw very few fish on the beds. Only 3 for 13 miles of river. Last year we would see 3 or more on one small flat of the river. Very sad for the Nootch.
