Area 9 Salmon Reports

Overall the reports that we have been receiving out of Marine Area 9 over the past ten days or so have been quite bleak to say the least. The weather has been perhaps the largest contributing factor to getting on the water, with bad weather being generally the rule recently. I spoke with Pete, one of the WDFW test fishers yesterday and he confirmed the fact the fishing has been tough even when they are able to get on the water. He did mention that Toby Black (another of the WDFW test fishers) had a blackmouth in the 15 pound range earlier in the week from the Double Bluff area. With the weather looking decent for tomorrow perhaps a few of you will venture out and we might get a better idea of what is happening.
