10/31/2009 7:39:00 PMi was headed to the mouth this morning to until i saw what the sultan river looked like. so my buddy and i just went straight up to the hatchery to see what was in the pens and couldnt believe what we saw. like you said it was a zoo. i guess i dont understand the concept of fishing at the gate of a hatchery.... whats the fun in that? but i guess thats just my opinion. so needless to say we had a nice drive up to the hatchery but was home by 930 am. hope the rivers calm down soon.

11/1/2009 4:50:00 AMcurado, what were you using? i saw you fishing in that one area but looked like there was a bunch of guys right where the trial opens up and couldnt make it in there to say hi. i saw guys floating eggs, spinners, yarn and didnt see anyone catch anything. but i guess i was only there for 20 mins.

11/1/2009 6:48:00 PMi feel the same way man fishing at the hatchery ain't really fishing. especially when your fishing corkies and yarn because the fish aren't even hitting it everyone is just line bumbing them. what a waste i can't believe those people call themselves fishermen
