Salmon River Update – 27 August 2015
Its true, there are now a few more salmon now entering the Salmon River. Cooler evenings and precipitation have led to the start of the 2015 Fall Run. We have seen small numbers of fish from the lower stretches of the Douglaston Salmon Run all the way to entrance of the fish ladder at our hatchery. If you are willing to cover some ground and put in your time you are likely to spot some of these fresh early run salmon. Be ready and beef up your tippet, these early fish are full of explosive energy and will likely put up a ferocious battle. River flows remain in the area of 200 CFS and will not likely increase by much until the Labor Day release at which time we hope to see more fish enter the system.
