Russell Station

I just got back from about 30 minutes of fishing on the lake side. The water is still low, but with the lack of rain we've had, that's to be expected. Steam was coming off of the flow from the power plant, so I didn't expect much salmon action. I saw a few small bass or perch, and a number of good jumps from salmon, but those were out about 100 yards still. Again, the water was really calm and it would have been nice to have the kayak out there. I just gotta take it out for it's maiden voyage still. I'm wondering if an early morning there would be productive. That might be soon enough where the water temps would still be cool before the power plant gets going for the day.

Yesterday I went to Russell Station. I only fished for about 20 minutes because nothing seemed to be moving through. The flow has been pretty low lately and therefor the water was likely still pretty warm for the salmon. Reports have been made that some are in and out, they must have been out yesterday. I did however see 5 or 6 jumps about 100 yards or so off the shore. Soon those could be in closer to shore and catchable. I really wish I had my kayak out. The water was calm and I would have easily been able to get to them.
