We’ve been fishing hard all week, all I had to show for it was a small coho salmon and a couple wild Chinook that were released. The fishing is getting tougher every day. Not only have I not been hauling them in, the past couple days, I only saw a couple fish caught, even at the “name brand, ace in the hole” spots. I decided to give it one more try today at a spot that is clearly on the downswing and lucked out by landing a late season Chinook salmon.
By next week, the Chinook that are left will be too dark for eating and there are no signs that the meager Coho salmon fishing is going to pick up, so it looks like the 2015 salmon fishing season here in the Gorge is just about over. We’ll try again tomorrow and take a probable windy and showery weekend off. Even if the fish aren’t biting, the weather next week looks great for kayak fishing, so we’ll probably try a day or two next week before we give up fishing for the year.
where are you fishing like where did you launch your kayak?
I launch on the Columbia River, there are several spots.
