Not sure if that was '10 or what year. Was '10 the year they had issues with the dam and had 25,000 cfs and the river damn near flooded the town and everything else. Personally I'm less concerned about the salmon run although it's important to the overall economy up there so in that sense I hope it's decent. If that's not what they're expecting, can someone post what they're attributing that to and what you're hearing about the steel head / brown trout class.

Your on point with the better and bigger stealhead fishing. Fall of '10 was the year of the big flood. Alot of guy's iv'e talked to said it washed the eggs out of the river. Salmon usually would be in by now on a normal schedule. Last couple years we've seen very early runs. This year is about 2 week off schedule (just guestimating). Only time will reveal if there's going to be a good run or not. Day by day there stacking up in the estuary. They just need that one push and it will be a salmon river circus. Good luck to everyone.
