castle happen hard high rock water
The water around Castle Rock is not high but turbid, and it's hard to say what is going to happen to smelt in there.
fishing high mind towards warmer water zone
Sturgeon don't mind it if the water is high and dirty, and it is probably the only thing to do fishing wise. I'd try in the smelt zone from Longview down, and in the Willamette plume because the water is warmer there than up towards Bonneville Dam.
abundance increase starting
It should be interesting if we don't get too much rain. We were starting to see an increase in steelhead abundance on some streams.
doom fooled good jack returns strength wind
It's not all doom and gloom. The Wind and Drano are the ones that could show some strength. But we have been fooled by good jack returns in the past.
direction pointing positive time water
The water is dropping, the time is right, and there have been some smelt in there. Everything is pointing in a positive direction for the weekend.
degrees
Smelt like it around 42 degrees or higher.
