fished the river this afternoon after I got off work, thunder, lightning, rain, and wind, with rapidly dissappearing daylight ultimately forced me back to my vehicle early. Defeated. Had one one that struck very close to the bank when I was about to start reeling in quicker to cast it out again. I didn't set the hook good, and the 'ho spit it. I was less than impressed. Wet and miserable I called it a day. The dam was open...and I suspect it will be for at least another day or two perhaps...as while I was fishing, and the tide was going out with a healthy current...the river was still rising from the torrential downpour, about 2 inches during my time there.
These fish are crafty...but the next two weeks should be pretty good. I'm gonna have to check out Tahkenitch and see what's goin' on there, I suspect they haven't opened the dam yet, but it will be getting there soon perhaps....though it was lookin' pretty dire the last time I was there...so who knows.
Might have something worthwhile to report tomorrow, to make up for standing in water under tall trees during a lightning storm and a downpour, for nada.
Seriously,I get way too excited when I discover more gals signing up AND posting. :lol: I am so glad you found us and are willing to jump in and join the discussions. You will find boatloads of members willing to share all sorts of info. 
Giving serious thought about the weekend after the winds die down some. There is just something about standing on a tree lined shoreline with high winds whipping the trees around me that just isn't all that appealing. I want to bonk a fish,not get bonked on the noggin. :naughty: Love the rain,the wind...not so much. 
but that is ok we had to do that work thing.. But we are heading out this weekend!! Rain or shine I am soooo ready for some fresh fish for dinner!!! With all the money we have invested so far this year it would of been cheaper to go buy fish.. But what fun is that!?!?!
