Salmon River Fishing Report

15 November 09

Sun, 11/15/2009 - 17:04

As the river temperature cooled to the upper 30s in November, fishing was less consistent than the last week of October.  There were good days, but also slower days. I got too busy fishing to keep this report updated.  This time of year fishing is dependent on whether ice flows down the river.  We have not yet had ice, even though this morning's air temperature is 10 degrees, and river temperature is 32 degrees.  As the day warms, the river probably will increase 3-4 degrees.  The afternoon will be pleasant, and I will go out myself for a while.  Temperature is supposed to moderate through the week, so we'll have at least a few more days of fishing.  Fish are here, turned a couple yesterday afternoon.  It is difficult to schedule fishing this time of year because of the possibility of ice, but the weather forecast is a very useful tool.
