Talked to a buddy at 5:50 this morning and he said there was already 14 people out there but he was catching some fish. The inside of the fish house can comfortably fish 12 people without getting tangled and frustrated. Get more then that and it begins to be a mess. I will be very vocal and express myself if people try and crowd me out, in fact, In washington state, when I would salmon fish and people would get to close to me and get me tangled up, i would reach over and cut their line, but it shouldnt have to be that way. The word is out and people from all over the state are traveling to Blackwell to get in on the bite while its hot. Be prepared for elbow to elbow people and what some refer to as "Combat" fishing if you go to Blackwell. Here is a picture that my buddy sent me of the inside of the fish house this morning and its not even 730am.
