Its been too windy for many people to get our this week. Plus there have been huge tide swings that have dispersed the fish. As such I've just heard very mixed reports, as the people who found fish did well. And those that didn't find fish...well they didn't find...

It's almost Coho season on the coast, and it's looking like the best one we've had since the blue-back fishery ended in the mid 1990's. Last weekend I had costumers complaining that they can't get past the Coho to catch any Chinook. In my mind that's not the worst...
