There was hardly anyone out when we arrived at
Kletzch Park, but there was a fair amount of water flowing. I
started on the backside of the island and worked my way along
the far bank. I soon spotted pair of cohos right up against the
bank. I tried running flies past them, but they just weren't
interested. I continued moving downstream and right at the bottom
of the island came across a pod of cohos. These fish also weren't
interested in flies, as they were all spawned out. I continued
to work my way downstream, as Justin started hooking fish at
the top of the island. There definitely were more fish up at
the falls, as the further downstream I went the less fish I found.
I came back up and found that Justin had caught another 4 cohos
and had even gotten one chinook out of the deep pool by the falls.
He also lost another chinook that was 40 plus inches. I was a
little skeptical of this, but later on I did see a fish that
was a big as one of my legs, no doubt the fish he had lost. He
had the best success fishing orange patterns and swinging them
into the fish in shallow water.
