Alright. This is a combined report from the two days that I fished the dungy saturday and today. I started saturday at the audubon center but every hole I walked into had someone in it. So I drive down to the small parks that are above the game farm area. Only 1 car there so I start walking down river and found a pocket that looked deep enough to maybe have a fish or two.... I was wrong. On the first cast my #4 blue fox just gets hammered by an 8lb buck. I horsed it away from the logs and beached it... Nice! I change colors and the next cast I get a hen that's even bigger. Oh yeah I found some gold here and 30 minutes later I'm limited out all from the same hole.... never happened to me before, ever.
So today I take my buddy up there and started at the exact same spot. We each got one a piece but then its went dead. So we started walking down river past the game farm all the way to the lower bridge. I got one more out of a shaded pocket close to towne road and kept on going, but then we came to an area that had 15+ plus people in it. All of which and just casting over and over again with 6ft leaders trying to somehow hook a fish to pull it in backwards. This is not fishing. I've seen it way too much this year from the quilcene, tahuya and dungy. Watching people walk down the middle of holes, throw rocks and using the snag rig to fill their freezer. Tossing a spinner or a spoon, being really stealthy and quiet works and here's the proof. The key to success on these small rivers is not being seen by the fish. But anyway 6 fish in 2 days is not bad. So I will give it a 3. Tight lines all!
