Been down most evenings and fished the afternoon away on my birthday and am still walking out with limits of kings and silvers. In the last week I have only kept one king but have kept a bunch of silvers, mostly running 6-7 pounds with a few that are bigger. Caught my biggest of the season yesterday which weighed 12.4 pounds. Still waiting for the bigger fish to show up and for the average kept fish to be around 10-11 pounds. They should be in any day now. I am still throwing corkie/yarn combos at the moment til the water clears a bit and I can go back to eggs and hardware. I have been hearing that the best times are in the morning, but I have been getting out of there in the evening in about an hour or so with my fish and have been seeing a lot of others caught then also. The weather is cooling down and the river should have good clarity by the weekend. No pics this time of silvers. I don't take pics of little ones but here in the next couple weeks when the bigger fish show up, some of them will be photo worthy.

I don't want to give away the exact hole since it is already ridiculously crowded as it is, but I fish right there in the center of town at the moment. As the river clears, I will start moving down stream towards the treatment plant where the water is a little deeper and less crowded so I can use my plugs, spinners, and bait. I don't go any where near the hatchery, all the idiots up there can have that place.
