Salmon snagging season started last Thursday at midnight. As usual, we go to the lake about mid day on Thursday to set up our camp and save a few spots for some other people in our group. The weather was absolutely beautiful during the day but got really cold at night. Fishing was pretty slow compared to the last few years. In years past we have fished at the boat ramp along with a bunch of other people and been fairly successful. This year the fishing was slow and by Saturday there were just a few people on the boat ramp and a few times there was nobody at all. Friday and Saturday we decided to go to “Salmon Run” down the way a bit where there were a lot more people! We did end up catching many more fish there than we did at the boat ramp but still was not nearly as many as we have in years past. I ended up catching my first and what turned out to be my only fish on the 3rd day of our trip! All in all we had a great time and the weather was good. Luckily it didn’t start snowing until the last day when we were driving out.
