brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 No pinks yet. This year has been weird. I'm thinking another week or so and they should be in there. Who knows.. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walleyewarrior 23 Report post Posted September 12, 2013 Went to the CR today. Not a salmon in sight. Thought maybe with all the rain they might have pushed in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 12, 2013 I just left the cr. lots jumping, hooked one, watched 4 follow. Go time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 12, 2013 They were very cautious when following my fly. I must have seen 10 jump within 10 feet of me. They got more active as the evening started to roll around. I lost the one I hooked after a short fight and it snapped my tippet, about 14 inches long.

Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 How was the water levels at current river where were they at the piers or up the river thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Water levels are rather high, no evidence at mouth but some have moved up the river. Still silver. Some jumping around the concrete wall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Is the water slow or fast in current Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 13, 2013 It varies quite a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Report post Posted September 13, 2013 I just spent an hour or so down by the concrete wall. I thought i saw a few jumping but the light was fading. I think i was a little late tonight. Anything else besides really small little cleos for a spin rod? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Maybe try small mepps spinners Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 13, 2013 I'd suggest spinner or even small pink worms. Fish eggs, flies under a float. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Seen someone last year nailing them with small minnows under a float with a centre pin. A spinning rod would work aswell. 1 Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbrest 151 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Yup saw a few jumping around last night and had a couple bumps, was drifting egg patterns as well. Was hoping flybum and FWF would nail a few after I left, almost! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Has anyone seen the falls I was wondering how it looks was the water really fast coming down into the pool Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 13, 2013 I may just be able to scrounge up an hour this evening for a quick fish, not a lot of time...but maybe Lady Luck will be on my side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbrest 151 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Weekend Coaster:The water is a littler higher than usual for this time of year, and a little fast but 100% fishable. The water at the base of the pool is coming in fast lots of white water at the end of the falls. But we have all been down there fishing and its fine and safe. I even waded out to the edge of the rocks on the otherside across from the wall and I was fine. Head down and get a line wet while the fishins good lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Is the water too fast to throw a small unweighted spinner or jig a jig head Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 13, 2013 I think you should just go check it out. You seem interested enough, go wet a line it's the only way to really find out. Bring an assortment of tackle and find out what works. Good luck dude, let us know how you do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbrest 151 Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Yah I dont mean to come off as rude, but just head down and go fishing. Thats what we have been doing almost everyday. I am sure you will nail a fish or two if you try different things and find out what works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 13, 2013 Lures I suggest for the cr areSmall jigs so that they are bouncing, not dragging the bottom.Small plastics, worms, minnows under a floatSmall little Cleo's, avoid anything over an inch and a half.Flies under a float (nymphs, egg flies)Tiny pink marabou jigs. Small spinner is the slower slack water. Pink is a good color for them, coincidentally.You can fish all these on spinning gear.I'm sure there are more methods but I have used most of these in the past myself, these methods can reduce accidental snagging, and nobody likes to see that. Stay away from large spoons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
