There is some hype going on at Burt dam with the rides up and down the hill. The town is giving free rides to the bottom of the hill and back up while some legal stuff is going on. They cannot pass the bottom of the hill at this time to carry folks across . There have been quite a few calls and questions about the stuff going on. Elderly, disabled and other people with special needs are finding that they will not be able to go there until this is sorted out. Fishing is supposed to be fun and we certainly hope the kinks are worked out before the end of salmon season .

On the much brighter side, we have seen fun, wholesome, happy, comical and strange videos and pictures of people at the dam. I will be posting some on our Boat Doctors and/or Olcott Fishing Facebook pages. Maybe I’ll put some on here, just to keep the fun in fishing and those smiles going. Have a great day. Oh, pinks and orange seem to be heavy hitters this week.

Wednesday, October 22 - We’ve had some more rain and the temperature is cooler which brought in plenty more fish. Fishing the piers and in the harbor has still been a decent option. We are not too certain about today since the weather is kind of windy and colder, but I’d guess it’s a good place to try if you want to catch a big one before they get to the dam. Eighteen Mile has been holding it’s own now. I’ll find out more about Eighteen Mile later today from the boat ppl.

Fishermen’s Park is loaded with brown trout. Kings aren’t so plentiful yet, but those browns sure are. In the Eighteen it’s been a skein bite.. A few atlantic’s have been caught in the pier heads. Browns are liking whites and greens/chartreuse this week at Burt, Johnson Creek got some water and fish. Have fun no matter what you are doing.
