That Oct 1 delayed opener for kings really confused a lot of people. I'm sure there is some paper fish reason that they are doing it, but I had it wrong in my head up until Friday afternoon. I did not see any kings retained or even caught for that matter above Monte, but I did hear a lot of confusion about that rule. If they are trying to protect summer/early kings you would think that they would have made the deadline Monte or Fuller Bridge.

As far as reports go, it is about as expected for me, water is warm and the fish that are around aren't very aggressive. Need more fish, or cooler weather/more water.
