Speaking of rivers and streams, I decided to leave the salt behind for the weekend and go in search of some new water. I thought for sure that the river levels would certainly bring in some very clean fish. The potential for numbers was too much to resist so on I went.
I managed to hit 5 or 6 differant peices of water over the weekend. Covered hundreds of miles and came up with some pretty amazing results. The effort was well worth it. I got within 10' of a feeding black bear that was so goal oriented that I managed to get about 10 minutes of film footage before I moved on . I saw Elk,coho, springs, wild summer steelhead and even a fresh cougar kill that was way to fresh for my liking. ( I got out of there as I found I was actually standing in pools of fresh blood) The Turkey vultures had run off whatever made the kill , but I did not want to stick around to see what was coming back for the deer carcass.
Upon my return to the city I found that indeed the salt was on fire while I was out in search of some new flows. I have to say though that the summer saltwater fishery was a great one and I am pleasantly satisfied and have had my fill for now. So onto the rivers I go. Wow good to be back for another season. I hope we see some great water and even better runs of fish.
Good luck out there guys.

I might put up a few pictures but colouring in the background is a pain. Here's one anyway of a little stream where I found hundreds of these. I must have taken 10 or so of these in under an hour.
