8/1/2014 11:02:00 PMI quit fishing this a few years ago for kings because of this sort of thing. Either too many fisherman, lack of fish, or too many nets, etc. Know fish will show and the crowds will show as well at some point. Good luck to all that venture out.

8/2/2014 12:01:00 AMI saw five landed. Four were dark "natives" which went back and one was a fairly bright clipped fish. Today was a far cry from last year's opener for sure.

8/2/2014 1:18:00 PMif you go to the wdfw hatchery reports you will see the hatchery recieved 900+ fish back. This time last year there was 9 fish back. The natives didnt net the night before, the recent rain made the fish jet straight up to the hatchery.
