The upper columbia salmon opener
« on: July 01, 2012, 11:55:40 AM »
Well it looks like this morning was a good opener here in wenatchee, even with high flows there was fish-on. Cant wait to hit it tomorrow hopefully. The fish looked good nice color and 15-24 # average.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

The same ol garlic dip with superbaits and hotspots, and wut ever else. A buddy caught 2 fish and lost 2 fish, thats pretty good for it being this early, in fact the best I have ever seen! I dont think I have ever caught a salmon on the opener here in wen.

Anyone use herring?  Seems that they would work great if super baits are working.

I went a couple years back and fished it. We talked to the folks at Hooked on Toy's and they gave us very accurate info on the right gear. Stop by or call them if your headed over to fish. I don't have any what's hot or not info right now or I'd PM ya.
