Bonneville is putting out ~10,000 fish/day and the lower river is slow by all accounts, so the "late" theory is wearing a bit thin.

I would fish as far upstream as possible, as soon as possible. Methinks the fishery will be restricted or suspended below I-5 sometime next week, especially after DFW watches 10-zillion boats hammer the river below I-5 this weekend. I know I would be in there if I lived close, seeing as how the weather is supposed to be real nice.

I completely missed it this year. Oh well, apparently the only really hot area/time was below Bonneville for about a week, and I wouldn't have gone that far upriver anyway. So, I will just pack up the Kwikkies/river anchor/A3 and wait for next spring. Yeah, it will be better next year
