Fished an east-side river Friday, weather was ideal. We started out on the pier, which had lots of fish coming up(alot were chrome), but few biting. We left the pier and hit the river around 9:30 or so. No one was there, which wasn't surprising. The water was up a tiny bit, but cooling off pretty good. It was on and off rain and a good overcast. We fished for probably an hour with nothing. Than it poured for about 10 minutes, and as soon as it stopped, we hit fish. The bite was quick, but in 45 minutes we went 2-3 on kings, one steelhead, and a skipper:
A nice male on a cleo:

A fresh jack salmon:

A fat little skipper:

A nice early-run buck:

We than ran north for a couple hours that night, but fishing was slow. We hit one small male on a wobble-glo, and that was it. We seen a few other fish come up, but we need a good rain to bring up a push of fish:
