The upper columbia salmon opener

[DeerHarvester]

Yeah I would agree. Lots of fish still coming over wells. Plus the kings are still coming.

Well I guess it can't hurt to give it a go anyways.  Was planning on hitting it next weekend for a couple days.  New fish mving in every day and at the rate they are crossing wells there should be plenty of fish in the pool.

You can always hit below wells. They stack up there no mater what the water temp is

Ive heared the launch at Wells is wiped out? Anyone else heared this ?

[MtnMuley]

Gonna be a while until the Wells launch is opened up.  They're saying the end of the month.........I'm thinking into August.

  thanks!

I am with WSU on the comment of sharing.  I don't share on 100% fishing sites like iFish or Gamefishing.  But I don't think there are many folks here that fish as their primary reason for being here.   Heck the title of this site is Hunting-Washington.

If you planned on coming over this weekend I would think twice.  Flash flooding right now and the Okanogan is screaming. The salmon are running up river.

Any up dates?

Heard from a friend who was out yesterday that it was on the slower side, some being caught.  Netting going on at the mouth of the Okanogan, plus thunderstorms and probability of fish shooting up the river.

[Wa hunter]

Oh, well I guess I will give it a try tomorrow.

I was at Wells yesterday...the launch is wiped out, dont expect it to open soon. the Okanagen is just plain Mud and Indians netting at the Mouth. never been to the dam before so had to check it out while passing by. the fish are stacked thick at the ladder located next to the launch, but i did not see one sign saying i couldnt fish there, had to talk to campers who advised of a boundry sign around the corner outa site.  that water is just pourrrrring outa the dam. very impressive.

Fished the Brewster pool Friday and only put 1 fish in the boat.
Fished Saturday and put three limits in the boat in 5 hours.
Sunday the three of us put 18 sockeye in the boat in 2.5 hours.
Down riggers at 20 feet, size 1 dodger running six feet behind down rigger.
14 inch leader with small chunk of shrimp dyed with red food coloring.
Trolling speed was as slow as I could go while still getting the dodger to do its thing.
Friday we stayed in the slot next to shore. Saturday and Sunday we fished closer to the mouth of the Okanogan and much further from shore.
