On Tuesday we had plenty of sunshine and the temperature reached into the upper 60’s. The anglers we have staying in the motel and stopping into the shop reported having a good day in the lower end of the river. Anglers said the fish movement was steady with a mix of kings and cohos and at times mostly cohos. Late in the afternoon I went down and fished the DSR until they closed. By that time of the day very few anglers were on the water and all the spots that everybody stands in first thing in the morning were wide open. I covered some water and kept moving but managed to land several cohos along with one king. I’ve been on the river three times this season and for me personally, that’s the most coho action I’ve had so far. We didn’t catch any cohos while trolling out in the lake this fall, so it was nice to get some payback. Please be aware of the change in water level.
