The hot summer desert temperatures were lingering well into October with temperatures reaching into the mid to high 90&#8217;s. Like our home in the Columbia River Gorge, everything here is subdued to the COVID pandemic and restrictions. There are noticeably less &#8220;snowbirds&#8221; and RVers in the area, although that may change as winter sets in. Like everywhere else in the country, there is a sense that there is going to be trouble following the upcoming elections, so who knows how long the fishing trip is going to last?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to save trips from the desert into town to use increasing limited public WiFi, I&#8217;m posting this using my mobile phone. When I process video with the laptop computer, there will be additonal content, but now we are just getting going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a summer of endless Columbia Gorge wind that limited the smallmouth bass fishing, we arrived on the Colorado River to warm weather and calm winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CORiverSunrise10-22-20.jpg\" alt=\"Kayak fishing at sunrise on the Colorado River\" class=\"wp-image-6243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CORiverSunrise10-22-20.jpg 600w, https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/CORiverSunrise10-22-20-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The fishing for largemouth bass has been pretty good.
