I hope it's not just a "circle jerk" going on.... post some pix already!!
I'm guessing that Eddie has high hook by now, 6 steelies, 4 browns, a couple coho and multiple kings. Why can't we see the pix yet? Surely a late run this year tho.

Aside from having a great time together, fishing slow. Better reports will be posted later.

Looks like a great time was had by all !!! Thanx for putting it all together to those involved. I guess low water turns that fishing into a tough nut to crack. Hopefully more M&G's to come up there !

Mikey T,

Still sounds like you guys had a great trip. Good to see some fish come in Saturday night. Will be interesting if there are continued bodies of fish to come or if the salmon run for some reason never materialized this year. So many factors involved. Hopefully regardless of the salmon run, the steel head and brown runs are at or above par. Nice steel head in the picture. Is that the Sycamore hole with the Wall hole in the back ground. Nice seam and holding area for fish running the rapids below....great spot at the DSR, one of many!

I only got to fish for a few hours Sunday morning and I didn't get anything. River was super crowded. Saw plenty of others catching but with how many folks were out there it was more like 1 person catching per 20 anglers at any given time. So I guess technically it was slow.

Also had a hole in my waders, entire right leg filled up and destroyed my phone in my pocket. Oyyy

Alright boyz alright!!! Staying the extra day yesterday and getting home just now payed off. Mikey's report is on point without a doubt. Alex got his first Steelie and a big gun around 12-14 lbs or so. Fishing was the slowest I've seen it in 18 years. No big pushes of fish and lots of angry anglers. It really didn't matter, we had so much fun at Seth's camp it was ridiculous. Great food, lots of drinks and a ton of laughs. I'd go just about anywhere with this crew, anytime. Seth is a great host as always. Thanx for everything buddy! You are the man.
Day 1, slowwwwwwww fishing. I hooked 2 fish up high that I couldn't get in. Ahhhhhh, not much going on but we still gave it HELL!
Day 2, slowwwwwwww again with not much going on besides Alex hooking a BEAST STEELIE. Had nothing put a bend in my rod until we ran upstream again. Another fish hooked and lost. And so the trip goes on.
Day 3, we start up high and get some inside info that there was a major run late in the afternoon on day 2. So back down low we go! What a circus! I love every minute of it. Walk down to the spot and see Salmon and Coho's doing backflips everywhere. I find my lucky rock, surprisingly nobody's on it, 2nd cast, GAME ON!!! Feisty Kings ruled the river on Sunday with a few nice Ho's in the mix. I did not land any Ho's but hooked one around 10 lbs that jumped out of the water 22 times in 10 seconds. YEA BUDDY!!! Everyone in our crew had left and it's just myself and Bob grinding it out trying to get our fix. I'm starting to hook Kings on every other cast and see my good friend Bob getting frustrated. So what do I do when I see a friend in need, I hook a King on my rod and hand it off, YUP! Bob's shaking like a leaf chasing this 15 lb King downstream and finally another angler nets the fish or him. I go down give my buddy a big congrats and take a quick pic of my smiling friend! Another satisfied angler. I couldn't be more thrilled watching my homie land his first river Salmon. The day goes on and the final tally for the day is somewhere around 30 Kings hooked with a Coho in the mix, landed 6 of those Kings and every battle was insane. Fresh fish in the river and they are full of piss and vinegar. Go get em boyz and girlz!!!
Overall the fishing was subpar for this time of year but what really matters to me is the great times I had with some great friends. Thanx to all that made it up. Your all one of a kind!!! Let's keep this going! I'll be headed up again at the end of the month when more Chrome is in the river. TIGHT LINEZ TO ALL!!!! FASTEDDIE OUT!!!!!
Pictured is Bob's first King at 15 lbs or so. And of course there's a pic of myself with a 25lb class pissed off female. YEA BUDDY!!!!!

Well I guess we will just have to do it again next year. If this report doesn't sway the doubters then so be it. October 2015, get ready.....
