Fishing Report
This weekend on the Root River, trout and salmon anglers produced some fair catches. Although fishing was a little slow at times, there were some nice Chinook salmon landed as well as a couple brown trout and one recorded Coho salmon. Angler pressure was most concentrated around Lincoln Park with a few anglers scattered downstream around Island Park and near N. Memorial bridge. Most harvest Chinook salmon weighed between 9-15 pounds, brown trout averaged 6-7 pounds, and the Coho weighed in at 3.75 pounds. Many successful anglers were either fly fishing with red or orange flies or casting small bucktail spinners.
