August 19th

 Water flow was posted @185CFS but was 700+ in the lower river due to Storm Run-off. Water temps were 67-68 degrees

Combine a HUGE Storm overnight with chilly air temps (low50's) and Tremendous run-off and what do you get?? Today at the DSR Mike Redlin , Jason Edwards ( General Manager of the DSR)and yours truly enjoyed a morning rarely seen in August-King's and LARGE Coho's blasting up past for a Solid 3 hours!! I watched Jason hook up and instantly have it break off and Mike started his 2008 season off by fighting 2 rather mean King's-only to lose them to the rocks!!

August 18th

 Water flow-down to 185CFS temps 68 degrees

 After having my car serviced, I drove over to the DSR and walked down river and met up with Norm (who had been there for a couple of hours and he told me he spotted 8 Salmon and cast to 1 big Hen ) I spotted a king off to my left and then it was gone!! Amazing how a 20+ lb. fish can get lost in a foot of water!! Bright Sun and a west wind shut down any movement and I was off the river by 1pm!! I'll be back at the DSR tomorrow.....

 

I'm reminded of the 'ol song "Imagine" as I contemplate  fishing the DSR !
Imagine -You're walking the path just before daylight and your anticipation and adrenalin are soaring!
Imagine- As you step out of the woods and take that first step in the cool water
Imagine-As you wade along the side of the Salmon River -ever so quietly and then! Off in the distance you see a splash, then another splash-could it be a few king's making their way up river?
Imagine-Making that 1st false cast-do I have enough line out? Where will those fish be when they get to my position?
Imagine- Your cast on perfect! You watch as your fly drifts along in the current -the King takes it!! Fish On!!
Imagine - After a valiant struggle you admire your trophy and then gently release this magnificent fish back into the river to fight another day!
