Fishing Activity Is Still Very Good
Posted 28 July 2011, 10:24 am NDT
Although the water level continues to fall there are still a lot of fish in the river.
Numerous fish seen in the river are reported to be salmon. One of our guides; Hedley; told me this morning that he saw the biggest salmon that he has ever seen on the river in his 11 years on the Lower Eagle.
Similar stories were told to me yesterday by guides from other camps. I also witnessed at least 10 - 15 salmon jumping yesterday when I had the opportunity to go to the beach.
With the number of fish reported in the river over the past couple of days the fishing should continue to be good for some time to come.
