Sorry, there are no photos or video today because the salmon fishing on the Columbia River is really poor. Out of 20-25 boats, which is about half of what it was this time last week, I saw three fish caught. I had a couple weak bumps, nothing even close to a hookup, in about six hours. The fishing has been slowing down in the past few days, not sure what the deal is. I’ve talked with a few guys who said there is virtually nothing happening on the Columbia River tributaries that would normally be kicking out a lot of fish. On the main river, some spots are better than others, but the fishing seems to have dropped off to almost a dead stop yesterday afternoon. It looks like the salmon are just passing through.<\/p>\n
Windy tomorrow and rain the day after. When the weather is too nice, the salmon don’t bite. Maybe a little rain will wake the fish up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
