Fished below Panther creek Thursday and the wife, son and I landed 7 including a 30" hen - all but one were hatchery fish. Roe was the ticket for this day. Endured the rain Thurs. night and watched as the river turned to chocolate as Friday went on. We caught 2 smaller steelies in the morning then made the call to move up river. Fished the Shoup bridge to Salmon stretch Saturday and only landed 2. Both were nice fish and my son landed a hatchery buck that was 32"! One fish was caught on a hot shot. Nice weather but fishing was slow. The water clarity was perfect above Salmon. F&G only checked 8 fish caught in that stretch up to 5 p.m. Good luck to anybody going up!
