Ok, here is our report:

Got to the hatchery and could NOT BELIEVE how many trailers were in the lot. Got on the river and the drift right above the hatchery was packed with boats. The shoreline down from the hatchery to the Calawah was packed with fishermen. And, pretty much all the way down past Tall Timbers.

So, we started fishing just downstream from Tall Timbers. I was disappointed, but the late bird gets only what the early birds left for them, eh? Once we were past those areas, the traffic thinned to pretty much nil and we had a great day on the water.

The fishing was good. We boated three for three of us. Seemed to be about the average for the boats we talked to. There were lots of fish to go with the crowds. Typical sized fish 4-6 pounds. Two were super chrome with sea lice and one had a tinge of red.

That's the report. The river color was good. Visability was about 2'.
