JULY 2026
Thursday, July 30 - It's a great day to be outside and do some fishing. They are doing good trolling here on the west end. Salmon, brown and steelhead fishing has been good. Since they are trolling a lot of depths, it may be good to wait until the day of to find out. Meat and spoons have been the most productive. It seems to be a lot of black and greens this year and a lot of dots. Just go out there and have a good time. The weekend is coming. Have a great day.
TIP: If you are planning on visiting the area this year, BOOK EARLY! There is a new AI plant being built in Somerset and the workers need housing. Shop around and you will find something.
