Hearing there is some decent flow in the SSS aswell, should become interesting in the next couple weeks...:D
 
That's cool, can anyone suggest a good area of the river that's open?
 
Don't get to excited. There's only a few Chinook in the river right now.

No fish going through at the Stamp ladder either.

I'd kick back wait till mid September.
