Salmo:

Thanks for your response on this, and, as always, you shared a few angles of the issue that most would not consider. I would never have thought that the "competition" knowing when SCL was planning to generate power would make any difference...guess it's a competitive world.

As to killing the bite when they begin to generate and then stop, the fluctuation at my place is about 18" vertical.

In thinking about the other threads where folks are talking about the Coho hitting better on the downward side of a river dropping into shape...well, this one "drops into shape" at least twice a day here..:-)

Was out this morning at daybreak, and there was -0- activity until close to 8 am, when the Baker had been on for about an hour. Fish started to roll...and I caught one that I knew had seen a number of previous offerings and declined to dine on any of them. Water had 4'+ vis., but instead of the little DN she took a big pink/chrome spoon (about #5 size).

Go figure..just when ya think you have them where you want them....
