Porcupine

[packfish]

i would say those 4 or 5 were 20" or a tinch over. I was maybe 10 ft away and they were in a foot or so of water. When they ran up thru a 10 yard section of shallower water their backs were out. I think the church left the gate open so people could go up a little further and get parking.

Nice, it would have been awesome to catch one that size this Summer but it's good to know they can get that big in there. Were you upstream from the main body of water?

I was directly below the gate of the Church land and then upstream for 100 yards or so. so probably 200 yards upstream from where the creek now enters . There were 2 eagles cruising where the lake ends but never saw them get anything.

We saw those eagles the last time we were there, We went up lake to where the river enters the lake but saw no salmon there, we figured they must be up river. I haven't been up past that parking area, at the back launch, good to know there is parking up the road, in case you want to view the salmon running.

There is parking for 3 or 4 cars if the church doesnt leave the gate open. Last year the pictures I took say it was Oct. 2nd so the run has a ways  to go I would think. Buddy said he was hammering the stripers on Lake Mead. Leaving for the airport now.
