Fishing at McNary Dam

We went out fishing on Thursday. The water is cranking with all the spring run off. We anchored up on the edge in about 15-12 feet of water. We hooked most of the fish on the shoreline side. The fish don't want to fight all the swift water so they are cruising up the edges. We did best on the fickle pickle in various sizes but the 13's did the best for sure. We caught 2 wild adults, 2 hatchery jacks, 1- 10# catfish a big sucker and had one other adult on that we lost and had 4 other big take downs with line tearing off, but came off before you get to the rod. The numbers are just starting to come over Bonneville. Things should really pick up in the next week. The Shad will be showing up as well.

Springer fishin on the Snake

Well the Springer fishin was fast and furious while it lasted. We went 4 times limiting out 3 of the 4 times. The fish were nice and bright. The water was very swift we anchored up in our usual holes and went to work. We looked like geniuses on 3 of the 4 days. We picked them up on the usuals with a few surprises and few new combinations. Always using the secret sauce. I'll try to get some pictures up. They closed the river within a week of the fish showing up. It was fun while it lasted.
