No surprise I didn't catch any fish. I was just bored and it is only about a 2 mile drive to treatment plant. I threw a pink jig the entire time. I only fished for mabye 1.5 hours. I did have a small sea-run cut bite, but when I set hook I yanked him out of water and he went flying and came off in flight.
Last year, I was saying that the river was "infested" with chum, but this year has been unusually slow. Since I was on the river, I walked up to a hole that is usually packed with chum spawning, and I didn't see a single fish there. There were a few down river,but definatley a dismal return.
I filmed myself tying one of my favorite steely jigs and uploaded it to you tube. It is a test run. http://youtu.be/gi4ob2gAgIE I will try to make more videos if It post correctly.
Almost forgot to mention river is "selective gear" rules, so no bait or scent and single barbless hooks only.
