It has been way slower, by this time last year we had boated 250 by now and in six or seven trips this year about 45 The dirty water coming in from Raft River has not helped.
We are loosing a lot of fish out to the river with the huge flows. The fish are very healthy with the Oct 2015 planters in the 3-4 pound range and many of the Oct 2016 juviniles already in the two pound average or close to it. The two and a half year olds are in the five to seven pound range and have been scarce out of the boat. They are close to the bank as always and I know of seven or eight seven or eight pounds being caught. A week ago Friday and Saturday we caught 11 and 10 Weather has been horrible. You have to find the fish we have had four doubles this year. Size 5 jointed Rapalas in orange and Lucky Craft Brownies in the smallest size always produce fish.
