Rip van Winkle,  years ago we had salmon come up in the Notty as early as mid June, normally around this time is quite common.

When you hear a knock on the door, duck, Im going to slap ya.:P

You get a few salmon wander upstream in July and August every summer. That first good thunderstorm where it rains enough to raise the water level is all it takes. If it gets really hot again, they'll most likely croak. If not, they'll be spawning by Labour Day.

For what it's worth, no it's not too early to hit the piers and yes, there have been a handful of fish caught at night off and on over the past couple of weeks. Go explore, you might be surprised. By the time you read about it on the internet, the best fishing is over and done.

Seems a wee bit too early for browns, but when the rivers swell the fish do what they want, lol

Going wayyy back, we used to cut through the corn field and walk across this sketchy wood plank over a creek holding onto all our gear and a crazy hot Coleman lantern in the middle of the night.  I was just a kid, not knowing what was going on.  Before internet - it took real life experience to figure stuff out with the help of other anglers to guide you - if they weren’t super a holes (lots back then). Just angry old grumpy men catching f’all bottom bouncing while the trib slightly north of it was gettig raped  by snaggers.  Oh the good old days lol.  I digress!

Someone's probably adding 'foam earplugs' and 'big-ass treble hooks' to their shopping list after viewing it.
