The B-10 fishery stared off slow today with few fish to the anglers. We fished the Oregon side off B-22 and the Hammond are up to the sawdust pile. I never saw a net come out of a holder. Talked to lots of folks and it was a similar story. The only action I heard of was above the bridge just past high slack. One friend I know did manage to boat two chinook and one hatchery coho (he was surprised as it seems a bit early for coho in the river). The river is full of anchovies and the whales are in the river after them. We will see what tomorrow holds in store.

NICE SZ...best tides there IMO this year. July was my play month, as I've gotta be around the office this August. Too many projects to keep track of!

I won't be able to get there until the soft tides late in the month. During the first set I'll be fishing in B.C. Even in retirement, the time from July through October comes down to making choices. Can't do everything at once.

I'll be down August 24-28 for the soft morning highs. Should be good. It sounds like Westport is overrun with kings right now.

FYI, Cody Herman puts up a daily B10 report after fishing on his youtube channel. Good way to keep your finger on the pulse down there:

Trying to talk NealM and SciGuy to head down with me sometime between the 13th-17th. Any place left to camp that's near a ramp on either side? Most places I call just laugh at me...

If you've got a crew going with you and can split the costs, airbnb might still have some availability in the area. We stayed out by Naselle last year, staying in Ilwaco this year. Pretty nice having a house to come home to. I just booked my house a couple weeks ago, and I booked the house in Naselle last year even later. Might be worth a look.

If yesterday was slow, today was even slower. Of five boats from my marina only one landed a fish. He fished all over the river from the Washington side to Hammond. He finally got his one fish off Hammond. Even the ocean is not producing. Usually this time of year the river starts slow but picks up speed. When the river is slow we bust out to the ocean and either fish off Long Beach or hit the CR Buoy for coho. Between the ocean weather conditions and just the lack of fish it has not been much of an option this year. All of us down here are patiently waiting for the fish to come in and the wind to die down. OK

August 4th was yet another slow day. I did not fish but talked to the boats who came in at my marina. I also talked to a few friends I have that fished and they are still experiencing a rather slow star to the B-10 fishery.

The bite is starting to pick up a bit. More folks are catching fish and above the bridge seems to be good. Still waiting to see multiple boats with fish one at one time.

It's so slow here at B-10 that folks don't bother to take their nets with them anymore, they just leave them at the dock or the ramp.

Looking at the numbers and listening to the reports in the big pond...the big river will be lucky to see 400k kings. Hope I am wrong.

This is the last week for the B-10 fishery and we are still looking for that hot bit were the boats all around you have their net in hand and ready to land a fish. So far that day has yet to come. With less than 400,000 chinook over the dam for the entire year, it does not appear that the estimated close to a million fish will show this year for the fall run. The only good news is from here until the closure, you can keep any chinook marked or not.
