Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Fishing is still tough, so if you're planning to head out, manage expectations. The bite is slow, and fish are in transition.
Changes We’re Seeing
Fish are going deeper, becoming lethargic, and starting to push up into the North Fork Arm. Some are losing scales and color—indications of spawning transition or seasonal stress.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect quality to drop off quickly by mid-August. You may have two weeks or less before these fish fully shut down. If you're going to fish Bullards, now's the time—before it slips into full-on post-transition slowdown.
