Barrier Dam: Mainly Wild Chinook, a few hatchery. Fish not feeding well, repetitive hookups to same fish by several on river. No hookups of Steelhead, some Cutthroat taken.
Blue Creek Hatchery: Mainly Steel Head. Best yields are by fly fisherman covering up to about 300 yards of river.
Blue Creek "The Wall": lots of fisherman, no reports.
Most hook ups using small corky (orange, pink/yellow, green yellow) on drift rigging.
Overall, Chinook, Steel Head and Cutthroat available and increasing numbers as I had fished prior week.
