hooks. Conditions were a little tough as we were facing not only an extremely low
river but a very strong south wind. We were unable to properly fish most of the
big, deep pools because there was so little current to get the plugs down and the
wind would blow the boat back upstream. We concentrated mainly on the stretches
with a heavy current and were able to hook five coho, landing two. Most of them hit
in less than four feet of water. I'm hoping we get enough rain this week to bring
the river up at least a foot or so. To book a first class guided trip contact Noel
