I just missed you , I was up there today checking out the estuary on rt3 and little sandy..up to trout brook , Ellis cove , trestle pool north …..those fresh chinooks “the king “ …. Peeling the fly reel hot and heavy … I’m getting goose bumps talking about it….,Rick flare style whooooooooooh

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

bahahaha, love the excitement. did you see any??

[@wildbryan2217]

@@TheAwakeningAngler nothing ….

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

I saw they bumped the water to 350 this morning. that should definitely move some in

[@wildbryan2217]

@@TheAwakeningAngler I think it will trigger the few pods in the estuary with the cooler water from the reservoir and the rain run off the salmon tribs, hopefully the bloodhounds of the water smell the river out in the staging area out in the lake and start moving up…

[@paulhoherchak3332]

Thanks for the report! Nice job!

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

thanks Paul

[@larrycipollone7202]

Well said! Respect the fish (NO SNAGGING), and respect each other. Elevate everyone’s experience.

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

yes, yes, yes

[@mariosilvestri6267]

Wow, that stretch is usually full of smallies. KYTU!

[@fritzliedka7452]

Looks like a great spot to hang out ..nice job

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

the river was so lush and green today and peaceful with no one around

[@michellelove1886]

Gorgeous place to hang out regardless !!! You gave it a shot ! Thats what matters most !

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

it was very picturesque

[@Etricks93]

Never been salmon fishing, wouldn't even know where to start!

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

it's doesn't have to be overwhelming. maybe I'll do some more river fishing videos for every who might be new to it

[@jbGAMEandFISH]

too much fun man. Like @The Awakening Angler said, especially when you get people hooked on them for the first time or for their biggest one.

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

wouldn't a river meet up with a group be a ton of fun?

[@Etricks93]

@@TheAwakeningAngler so should we do it? Haha

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

let's keep an eye on the run and see if a day works out

[@jbGAMEandFISH]

good signs at least. Guess we will wait and hear what DSR has to say this evening

[@rumbleseat1]

Hi

[@gregorykeener4227]

You seem to have a great sense as to what people are wanting to hear about. Samonn season and especially steelhead fishing can't get here soon enough. Good timing Matt !!

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

I'm no different than anyone else. I look forward to different things and seasons too, so when I get the itch I rake everyone along with me

[@mannyd123]

Question, is it legal to use a spinning outfit w/ 10lb braid and a fluorocarbon leader? What size hooks for bait? I stripe bass fish and would love to give this a shot.

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

thats a perfect set up

[@mannyd123]

@@TheAwakeningAngler thank you

[@mattwhite4519]

Thank you for this. I'm still a steelhead newbie but I'm coming back in Nov to infect the area with positive energy. Maybe it will help me catch another trophy!

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

it can't hurt, that's for sure. No matter what it is in life, time and repetition make you better. the beauty of seeing the river in the low water off season is that you learn what the bottom looks like in every spot, deep spots in low water now become the spot in a spot in each pool and run under normal all the way to flood level. all summer is for scouting and learning the where part of the game. You can have the slickest presentation and the most cutting edge baits, if you put them in the wrong spots then what's it matter. I've always assumed if I put it in just the right spot I don't really care what the bait is, location to me is more important

[@boblove6865]

Don't need to snag em. I ain't preaching neither because I am old enough to been a legal snagger but they will bite. Whether or not they eat is another story but bite they will. South shore is gonna heat up soon! Tight lines!

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

agree with all you said

[@jbGAMEandFISH]

I haven't been able to find much info but maybe you could help. I've heard that females will sometimes see an egg or imitation falling behind their red and pick it up with their mouth to move it back. Anyone else hear that before? I know they can strike out of aggression as I've seen that first hand, the other one would be harder to observe but still cool!

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

I wouldn't doubt they can and would do that

[@jbGAMEandFISH]

@@TheAwakeningAngler I thought that was an interesting comment when I heard they may do that

[@marcustemple2942]

They will bite but the problem is that they eventually get so line shy that the don’t bite

[@donberti18]

Even when there are NO fish it’s still a great report. Keeping that “tip up”

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

thanks buddy

[@Thrashius]

I like your message 9 out of 10, but don’t you see by casting the divide of how to catch them, you’re causing a riff? I have been flossing for years as I was taught, as I get older I’m more interested in getting the aggravation bites, or aggression bites, but it’s because of the years of flossing that I’ve done, the established love I have for going to Pulaski. If you cast out negativity on someone’s skill level, they’re less likely to listen to you. Instead, let’s embrace these fellow anglers, buy them a beer, and share our skill and knowledge. The better fishing atmosphere starts at the pub or at the bait shop, not at the river.

[@TheAwakeningAngler]

I had to read your response multiple times before I absorbed it enough to respond.
