Fall Run Winding Down, Fall Crowds Still Insane

As October comes closer and closer to being over, so does the annual fall spawning season.  There are fish still kicking around and fish are still on beds, but the main run is about over.  I have seen a few fish already starting to head back to the lake.  The fish that are still in the river are super spooked.  The amount of people that have been on the water is making fishing much more challenging.  On the same note, people continue to rip fish off of spawning beds. If you happen to see someone doing this, do us all a favor and educate them.  I am not saying go be a jerk and yell at them, but politely inform them what is taking place on that clear patch of gravel.  We will all appreciate that down the road.  Anyways, my trip yesterday was super affected by the crowds.  It was near impossible to find any water at all, and when we did, the fish had seen twenty anglers before us.  I was lucky enough to have clients that were good sports about the amount of walking that was required. When we found feeding fish we were able to get into them.  If not, we really had to beat the water and hope a fish would give.  That being said, we landed some really nice Browns, a great Rainbow, and a really nice Kokanee Salmon as well.  Below are some pictures.
