Humptulips Silvers 11-17-12

Ed and I fished the Humptulips Saturday November 17.

It rained hard in the morning and the river was on the rise all day but, it  did not  blow out till after dark  Saturday night. The overall fishing was good but not great. We were able to catch our limits of nice bright hatchery silvers but were not able to find any kings. It feels like the main part of the king run is over for this year.  We did not see many moving fish and only  saw a few fish roll all day. We did see a fair number of silvers caught but, my gut feeling was there were not many fish in the river but, what was there seemed  to be biting  well.

Brian S and I fished the Humptulips on Saturday 11-10-12 and Sunday 11-11-12 . The river was in great shape and should have been fishing very well, but  had a surprisingly slow tone to it this weekend. There did not seem to be many fish in the river. We did not see hardly any fish rolling or caught, and we were not able to spot any  fresh fish moving up river.  We  fished hard and were able to catch our  limits both days and  most of what we caught  were nice and bright, but I would  still consider  the overall fishing to be  very slow. We caught our fish on a combination of  egg and bobber and jigs and also heard of a few fish caught on spinners.
