I was wondering if anyone has been up to Salmon lately? I'm thinking about heading up there Friday and was wondering if they are still in there and if so, what are they biting on?

i just got home and it was tuff we caught fish every day but not in numbers like we did a few weeks ago we used yarn becouse we couldnt get a hatchery hen for roe it was cold and some what crowed for this time of yr the fish are in the system but lock jawed with the cold water. any one that i talked to that was doing good was using fresh roe and most were in drift boat's hiting a lot of spot's.

I went by challis all the way to salmon and it was full of ice so I thought i would warn ya. It was pretty bad so fishing might be pretty difficult.

Sunday Mackay Res was about half thin ice and half open. Today between Ellis and Challis the ice was piled 5 feet thick in the river in spots with lots of slush on the move.

Mackay res was not frozen yet little ice by the dam and the inlet but nothing more than inch of ice, open water everywhere else.

With reports of slush ice on the move my bet is the dead water is close to being frozen for the winter.

yea, i agree with you fishly, cant wait for the ice to break up.. today i found out im getting a new G-Loomis rod and im excited to get out and use it. i've used my dads and grandpas and they feel amazing. but i have no complaints with the rod my grandpa made me. i caught 12 fish in 2 outings and it feels great, but the loomis was a little better
