We had one unsubstantiated report of some guys getting smelt in the river last Saturday, but nothing's confirmed yet. All I can say at this point is the conditions are right.
There will be no changes to fishing seasons in the lower tributaries from last year. There will be in-season monitoring of the runs to make sure the seasons are as forecasted.
Fishing is still pretty decent down there. The last couple days it's been like a third to a half a fish per boat average. On some days it's up to a fish per boat average.
I looked back at past yearly catches, and they resembled what we saw last month.
