Wow, it's 5:30pm and I'm finishing where I started...across from the mouth of the pilchuck. Started here waiting for sunrise throwing vibrax, then jigs. no rollers, no luck. Moved downstream about a mile below the highway 9 bridge. Same, no rollers no luck. Headed up toward craven farm and the pay beach but, as I was an unpaid trespasser (didn't know it was pay because the gate was open!) I scooted out after a kind beach veteran gave me the details. Only rollers I saw all day were up there...but didn't appear to be on fire as far as catching.
So, that brings me to my question(s): does no rollers = no fish with coho? Is the lower sno done or just waiting for a good rain?
I've been fishing one spot for the last 15 years for pinks and silvers and have always done well with pinks but only so-so with silvers. Been an especially tough last month or so though. One silver and no limits on pinks the last 8 or 10 times out (early Sept). I have always had good luck with the humpy spoons you can get for a buck seventy nine at triangle but couldn't catch a cold with them for much of September.
Anyway, I just found this site a month or so ago and really enjoy reading all the posts. Any thoughts or advice welcome. General river locations or type off water would be helpful.
Thanks!

Marabou Jigs for humpies. I caught 150+ this year, retained 52, limits nearly every trip. Low water caused wierd conditions this year the fish didnt hold low, they shot straight up as fast as their fins could take them. Yes rain will help alot at your spot.
