Anglers are starting to pick up a few more Chinook in the bay. Boat anglers are trolling mainly west of Hwy 101. The fishing will only get better through the month as this is just the beginning of the fall Chinook run.

The river is has warmed up to normal summer doldrums and is pretty much going to be slow fishing until the middle August or until water temperatures cool off. Please use extra caution to minimize handling stress on these fish as they are already experiencing some environmental stress from warmer water this time of year.
