A big part of it was warm ocean temperatures with the fish having to change their diet from the usual creel. The outgoing water has not been ideal for a number of years as well. Heard reports of a lot more fish being caught the last couple of days today. Some very good spots which the knowledgable people already know and require very little sleep to attain now need not to be mentioned here and some soft water edges have been productive. Hint, most of the great water is only two to three feet deep and very close to the bank. Not the usual areas. Of course above Stanley the water is low and the fishing is fairly good and will continue for the next two weeks. Lots of Yankee Fork, East Fork B runs and a few Squah Creek Bs as well. Again only 5000 A runs over lower Granite according to Dupont this year. The B's released in 2015 that will come next year were subject to the same outgoing and Ocean water that caused this years A run to be by far the worst since the introduction of the hatcheries. Not hearing any good reports of the Cable Yankee Fork and Sunbeam holes in these flows.
