The salmon are stacked in the basins waiting for the next big rain event. The tributaries that the salmon need to run up to spawn are way to shallow right now. My fingers are crossed that we get some good rain today, tonight, and tomorrow which could set up for a great weekend. Just remember when targeting salmon this time of year that they are spawning. Releasing these fish healthy, especially hens (females) are a must to the natural and wild reproduction of Landlocked salmon. Remember these fish do not come from a stocking truck.
Here are a few of many my friend, Sean and I caught and released last season.

I have no problem to chasing them and able to find them easily. but I just wondering if they are still around basins/river at thanksgiving weekend? like Nov 30 or so.

would they be bitting egg sacs and egg flies or spoons???? or bait???

Don't waste your time with egg sacks. I'd throw spoons at them while drifting a worm or a shiner in the basins and if your fishing the rivers I'd use a worm and a split shot.

im going back sunday!!! halfday lakers halfday salmon!
im on a mission to catch my first of both species!!

Good luck, We'll be there too, although I wish I could Saturday instead. Saturday has highs of 60's while Sundays highs are only going to be in the 40's.
