Any one having any luck? Saturday will be my third drift. First two trips didnt bring any fish home. Should start getting better with more fish coming over the dam.

stayed at a cabing on the river the last couple of day, the river was very dirty but i did see one guy catch a nice bright fish right in front of the cabin.

Heard from a few drifter it's still slow. Have not been myself.

I also hear that most of the fish are nates. Don't know if that makes a difference to you

Atleast it would be some action. I am going again on Saturday so I hope with the increase of fish over the dam it will bring me some action.

Good luck, post up some pics and let us know how you do.

Slow fishing right now. It will pick up pretty soon, in a week or 2 it will be hot!!! Fished the white yesterday and it was dead even with 6k fish over

Word is on the river that they have been keeping the new trap closed and not letting the fish through. I didnt touch a fish all day and neither did anyone else I talked to. I am going to look into this trap issue. Talk about screwing up the natural way of doing things. Not only that it sucks not catching fish.

Best picture I got all day was my amazing wife and my dad.

I hate it when it goes on side ways. Not a computer guy.

thats a bummer to hear. I'm going to be down there Thursday, hope things begin to shape up in the next couple days. How was the river clarity?

Deer slayer · « **Reply #10 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:14:23 PM »

Clarity was very good. It sucks now but hopefully will start clearing up. I hope to drift it Thursday too. I will try to post Wednesday night about how it looks and if fish have shown up. They won't come until the trap/ladder opens.

Well if I see you I'll wave, I'll be in the red, grey and black Hyde. I'll probably do Stinson to Ice House...

Looks like I won't be going tomorrow. Everyone backed out on me. As far as I know the river is back in shape. River is running 1470. Good luck tomorrow.

Its getting better. They finally opened the trap. Lots of wild fish but at least there is something to catch.

klickman · « **Reply #15 on:** August 11, 2011, 04:26:13 PM »

Its gonna be a tough year on the klick. There just isn't a bunch of steelies this year. We were spoiled the last couple of years. With or without the trap open the fish can still get over the falls, just not a lot of fish this year.

They can do it a little easier now that the net isn't covering half of it. I fished it the last three days and there is most definately more fish now than there was the entire month of July. Have you been out?

klickman · « **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:41:11 PM »

We saw a few more fish last trip but it was nothing compared to what it has been. Limits are a lot harder to come by this year as compared to the past few seasons. Wild fish dominate the catch, we are seeing 4 or 5 wild to every hatchery. The wild fish will continue to enter the system throughout the season but the bulk of the hatchery fish are over the falls by the first of July.

I agree. The trap is saying 1 hatchery for every 12 fish. The trap said two days ago there was a big bunch of fish go thru.

7mmfan · « **Reply #19 on:** August 12, 2011, 02:34:12 PM »

Thats good news and definitely what I wanted to hear. Myself and two other guides fished last Thursday and between the three of us with 2 guests each hooked 3 fish. One nice hatchery buck about #12 and two wild hens about #8. Should be fishing good next week with fish coming in now and cooler temps on the way
