I totally agree this is going to be a very down year. Been fishing the Port Angeles area for the last 35 years and never in those years have I seen it as poor in what should be prime time. My partner and I fished hard the last two days and only put one fish to the net and it was about a #30 wild at Freshwater and saw only one net out in two days. We have been spoiled because it has been so very good the last few years but in my opinion you will start seeing some articles in papers with the question of what has happened to the Puget Sound Kings this year in what was supposed to be another great year. I also do not believe they are late as the last week in July thru the first week of august has always been prime time the last 35 years and it would really tail off after the middle of august. Even thru the years that were a bit down or very average the fishing was 10 times better then it has been this year or at least it was for the guys that really knew the area. I think most of the fish you hear about being caught in the ocean are fish heading to the Columbia. I know people that fish Sekiu regularly too and its the same story for them. Lets hope this isn't the norm in the future............Les
