Just wanted to see if anyone has been up to salmon or heard of any reports from the salmon run lately. I'm thinking about heading up this weekend before it closes on the 4th, but is it even going to be worth it? Last weekend was pretty slow and it looks like the run is winding down, so it might not be worth it to me. Has anyone been catching any lately? Any reports would be very appreciated!

Austin,
I talked to a guy from fish & game today and he said there aren't very many Chinook running in the river now..he said the run is just about finished. He said there might be a few late runners though.. I guess they aren't really even transplanting fish from the hatchery back up stream to run again. Sucks.

Last night a big rain must have knocked a mudslide into the river above Challis. It is a thick, evil flesh color now.

Low numbers of fish and nasty chocolate water, that'll make up my mind for me! No reason to drive the 3 hours for that. Looks like I'll be on the south fork this weekend catching some browns! Thanks for the reports guys!
