Steelheadman:

I live 7 miles from where I fish......over the years it has been my experience, on this river, early gets the fish. Boat traffic has increased, and while not so far this year.....swimmers are not a positive influence to biting fish.

Because the Wynoochee has gone from a summer run river, that not many people fished, in the 80's..........to a river, that is heavily fish from the 7400 Line to tide water....my choice of time to be fishing is "early" and let others enjoy the other hours in the day.
