Did we Miss the Bite?

[jigstick]

With how horrible this winter was, and the average reports I have been getting regarding the salmon action, is it possible that the season is running behind schedule…..and that the "hot bite" that normal happens at the middle / end of july just hasn't happened yet?  Or do most of you guys think the fish are just more scattered this year, and that it won't happen at all?

That is a subject finding much debate on this forum. See other threads. Tough fishing this year without a doubt

In 30 years never seen a year like this it can only get better maybe

I talked to the guys at the Slippery Sinker by Olcott today.  He said he is getting reports of water temps in the 50s at the surface.  That seems really really odd.

They are getting temps in the 50's because the lake flipped a few days ago. Not odd at all.

So what now, will fish be high because of the cold water, all scattered? I'm knew just asking. Thanks

[jigstick]

Usually they scatter because the thermocline gets all turned up. But if it happened 3 days ago the lake may be set up again.

This big west blow may just be what we need need to push fish in. Time will tell. Ill be fishing all next week. Ill post some reports.
