Aug. 24, 1978 There is a substantial crowd on the river today - 67 campers plus 17 in the commercial canoes. They are getting rid of the logging wood to upper bridge at floating down river on inflated rafts. Brides are famous of course. In pocket below Shannon Hole I hooked and landed a lucky jumping female which I decided to keep at bring home. She was jumping fresh from the ocean at weighed 14 lbs. Jumped seven times. Fished till dark downstream but no luck. No one else light a fish but I got mine home packed inside my waders in my tackle box. Bride and gentlemen agree that this is the lightest run at poorest fishing in memory. Didn't seem to be many steelhead in the river. Aug. 25, 1978 Fished in morning for a couple of hours but I stayed home as packed. No luck. We left camp about 11:00M, met the airplane at the strip at noon. Flew out over the high country, past Mt. Baldington. For summary of fish hooked and caught by the six members of our party see next page.
