Salmon run ??? - lonehunter - 08-10-2008 Is everyone geared up for the salmon run ? The big lakes have been hot for the last few weeks and if your watching the reports like I have been doing , they are getting closer to shore and the surface . Night time pier fishing reports are a little sketchy because of all the crowds and comotion that arises because of the first guy to blab the information , so I'll just say it is picking up a bit "IF" your tosssing the right lure . River fishing , hmmmm , I better shut my mouth about where the fish are at , don't wanna go over and have a couple dozen guys waiting at my hole when I get there .

I've only tied 3 new flies this year and 2 of them got gobbled up by some smallies early spring. It does sound like some fish are moving in a bit closer to the rivers. Havn't heard of anything actualy in the rivers yet though. You don't have to tell everyone on here where your spot is. Just send me a PM and I'll meet you there. This upcomming weekend is going to be a bust for me but I plan on doing some "Salmon Scouting" next weekend (Aug 23-24) Let me know.

[signature] Re: [davetclown] Salmon run ??? - lonehunter - 08-15-2008 Sounds like a plan . You are done waiting , right [fishin]. [signature] Re: [lonehunter] Salmon run ??? - lonehunter - 08-18-2008 That's my way of saying they are in , my buddy just stopped by to show me the 20# king he just cought . [signature] Re: [lonehunter] Salmon run ??? - davetclown - 08-18-2008 I went to pick up another tractor part and it looks like the water pump is going, "leaky" and yet another item makes it to the head of the to do list.... [signature] Re: [lonehunter] Salmon run ??? - SalmonRunJunkie - 08-25-2008 I have check my area and nothing is moving around yet, my area is Muskegon River and surrounding areas like the White, and by saying nothing moving around means that though i may see a fish it means no more than me seeing one in June in the same rivers. I am totally not ready for this years run as of yet, but tomorrow i will go and restock. Last year i was still pulling fish out of the White river in October even some fresh run, though most were turning. I will be taking a month off work and camp at Pines Point near Hesperia and granted that is a decent spot it is not the best spot [] [signature] Re: [SalmonRunJunkie] Salmon run ??? - Jaackrabbit - 08-25-2008 I try to make it to Hespiria at least once a year for the salmon. There is a nice hole just after the first bend near the dam. [signature] Re: [lonehunter] Salmon run ??? - davetclown - 08-27-2008 are ya going to be fishing off he handy camp peir at the dam on the west side this year? [signature] Re: [lonehunter] Salmon run ??? - SalmonRunJunkie - 08-31-2008 i have literally been swimming in the muskegon river the last week straight (water is very warm still) and though saw one i thought was a jack turned out to just be a huge bass, even swam in the nice 12 ft hole they like to stage in before going further, nothing not one salmon, so i guess going to have to watch and see what goes by at night, i will keep all posted and let you know what my night of river watching produces [signature]
