riggins / south fork salmon

[phutch30]

Still only have 2 fish in the trap, but it hasnt been updated. When I was in Riggins this past weekend. The main salmon boat fisherman were hammering then salmon down by White bird. One guide had 37 hookups in a 4 hour trip. This tells me that the main slug of summers heading to the SF is still downriver. Im sure theres fish in the SF but the main run isnt there yet. The fishing on the Salmon right in Riggins i.e park hole and the salmon/little salmon confluence area was very slow. Usually if theres any amount of fish moving through this area is ON. The water was pretty off color though so it may have impacted the bite. But on Sun morn they only creeled 8 fish at the confluence. On Friday we fished with the IDGF biologist (buddies buddy) who was going to put in the SF trap the next day. He didnt think the run was through Riggins yet. But was saying 4-9000 fish were predicted for the SF. With 18000+ over LG its probabable closer to 9 than 4 which should make for a great fishery. So when they get there oh boy.
Flows are at 1180 and holding steady or dropping. Post up when you get back.
