Newbie here although I've been reading posts for a cpl of years.... So I thought that I would return the favor.
Left for Salmon Sunday got there about noon and set up the camper started fishing at the Lemhi hole at 1(Which I have never seen so few ppl)caught a native within a half an hour, hooked up with a buddy that wanted to go down stream, so we went to Spring Creek he caught another native and that was it for the day. Monday woke up late and headed downstream, looking for one of my favorite holes, couldnt find it cause the water was a little different then last time Iwas there, so we started fishin above the middlefork aways first cast caught a keeper about 25 inches, made my buddy mad but caught 3 keepers there within an hour and he caught 1 within 4 hours started to get dark and didn't have much time left since the fishing was slow we packed up to move to another hole drove 100 yards and there it was my fav hole so waded out and the third cast fish on, filled my tag within 30 mins, even had a cpl of fishon on consecutive casts what a blast.... Lost one that spooled me out down river the guys on the bank said they say it and it "was huge" !
Only saw 3 other fish come out of the water but the survey dude said that it was starting to pick up from the last few days...... Anyways thanks to all those that posted reports and to those that will in the future!!!!! Many tight lines to you all.......

i have caught a fish on my first cast once. boy it sure is a good way to start off.

how was the weather if you dont mind me asking and how were the crowds downstream?

Weather was nice mid 40, was wearing just a long sleeve shirt most of the day. I was amazed at how few ppl were there, you could fish just about any hole with very little competition, Of course I was fishing late Sunday and Monday.
