The first 2 hours in the morning and last 3-4 in the afternoon were hands down the best times. No surprise there, but we still caught fish all day long just at a lot slower pace. On Mon morning from legal till about 7. It was crazy. We hooked a fish on almost every other cast. Then it slowed down to about a fish every 10-15 min for another couple hours then it really dropped off. In the afternoon as soon as the sun dropped over the west ridge the fishing was on nonstop until we couldnt see where our rigs were hitting the drift.
I tried fishing the mouth of the rapid river once for about 20 min , just to say I did, but its by no way my cup of tea for fishing. However, It is pretty entertaining to spend a little time watching the hoard fish the mouth. I saw guys yarding salmon out of the water like tuna, like out of the water and over the shoulder unto the bank. Not sure what they were using for gear but it must have been very stout.
Last weekend at the mouth of the rapid, another buddy saw a guy jerk a snag out, that shot out of the water up to the road, snag a truck driving by and spool his reel. LOL It would have been great to get that on video.
