Open seat tomorrow, fishing the Columbia

[osmosis]

You read right, I have one seat open for tomorrow below bonneville on the C for steelhead.
First PM gets it. I will be launching at about 7am at "the fishery" boat launch.

Running my gear so all you need is a non greasy lunch and plenty of water.

[youngbuck307]

lol thats kinda what I thought would happen.

 

[steelhead_stalkers]

For sure!! I might need some lessons in how to swing a fly in the fast water! Seems pretty effective, if I have no luck with some jigs and floats or bait or spinners.

 

[Troutier Bassier]

Well? Ya catch Anything?

 

[osmosis]

yep we caught plenty of fish, but every dang last one of 'em had a fin so nothing was taken home!!
There was very very little current below bonneville today, so the fish were very spread out and we had to work hard for 'em.

 

[Troutier Bassier]

You were trolling Right?

 

[osmosis]

nope, sittin on anchor. running spinners.

 

[Troutier Bassier]

Why is there sooo many Wild fish?
isn't there more Hatcherys going through?

 

[osmosis]

there are many, many more non clipped fish being caught than clipped fish.. I personally believe there are more than a couple hatcheries that stopped clipping fish due to private agendas.

 

[FishSchooler]

There are like 15000 hatcheries, and 4000 wilds going through these days. Whats going on?!

 

[Troutier Bassier]

Thats what I meant.
There are way more Hatcheries then Wilds but everyone is catching Wilds?!?!?!?

So how did the wind treat you guys out there? Sounds like you guys had a blast even with out any fish to take home. But hey you got to fight the fish and some times thats the best part of it.

 

[osmosis]

There was almost no wind at all today. This time that was a bad thing, there wasn't any windchill so we roasted out there!
Catching fish is fun, but I like to kill and eat my fish!

Now, why would anybody want to do that ??
