Hit the river this morning with my friend. No action at all until about an hour and a half after sunrise. When the bite turned on, we were catching them as fast as we could bonk, bleed, and record them on our catch cards. No subtle nibbles at all, they were vigorously chomping on the eggs and quickly swimming off with them. I had plenty of chances but I came out 1 jack shy of a full limit. My friend did pretty well himself, he got 3 adults and a big 19 3/4'' jack. We were each using different egg cures but we noticed the fish showed a preference towards a certain additive we were both using. We didn't see anyone next to us fishing eggs even get a nibble. While cleaning the fish we found two hens with only 1 big skein inside each of them. All the skeins we got were also large and mature. I've always taken this as a sign that the run was winding down when fresh fish came in with mature eggs.
