We had a lot of action from the Confluence area today, and some from further east. We have had a lot of males, but the females brought in have been nice sized and good quality. Thank you for bringing your fish in as soon as you catch it! Good luck to everyone for the second day of harvest tomorrow.
Largest fish we saw today was 109.3lb.

Male to female ratio was almost even today. We saw quite a few big mature 80# and over female fish but the smaller males are good eating too! We will take some time over the next two catch and release days to restock the North Star Caviar station, get some minor maintenance things taken care of and get ready for two more harvest days this upcoming Tuesday and Wednesday.

The fish are here but the sportsmen & women are not- but that is to be expected midweek on the second week of season. Male to female ratio was 3 to 1 today, and we are seeing more fish from all over now as opposed to just the confluence area.

Very windy in the morning with a lot of smoke in the air. Tough fishing conditions but some beautiful fish coming in. 6 were very nice females. Come out and snag your big one this weekend!

We are finally getting some decent weather out here on the water but much of our sport fishing participants count on a fast season and don't return for week 3. This is a great opportunity to get out and have more room to cast and try different spots without having to work around parked trucks and campers. We hope you find your big one!
