Humptulips Salmon

Cory B and I fished the Humptulips  Saturday and Sunday October 12 & 13TH
The water was low & clear and running at  500cfs. The overall fishing was on the slow side, but we managed to catch silvers and kings both days. On Saturday we  floated the hatchery drift.  There were a fair number  of dark silvers and kings holding in the deeper holes but they were a bit on the skittish side. We fished hard and managed to hook a good number of fish and even found a few bright ones but I would still call the overall fishing slow.
On Sunday we fished the lower river in hopes of  finding brighter fish. The fishing on the lower river was very slow. There were a bunch of boats and not many fish caught. There did not seem to be many fish in this section of the river. We only hooked four fish on Sunday but all four were ocean bright. We had our best results this weekend fishing eggs and bobbers and twitching river bend jigs.
I would expect the fishing to continue to be slow till we get another blast of rain.

  1. Wow! That was a nice catch on a slow side. Too bad there's no nearby river in my place where I can go fishing as well.
