It's been slow but did manage this 21 lb'er today & a silver.  So far only four in the boat plus a couple long line releases & two Tule's released

Seems to be hit & miss.  Skunked yesterday & it seemed pretty quiet around, but got these two today.  An 18 & a 13 lb'er.  They must still be coming in, the small one had sea lice.
Fishing above The Lewis now with the fin restriction below.

Not much action yesterday, but my B-I-L did get this 26 lb'er.  We only saw 5 caught but then too there was a purse seiner working below us.

Yeah, they're fall Chinook destined for the upper Columbia (Hanford Reach area).  They're genetically built for the long journey and as such are considered a much higher quality fish than the local fall Chinook.  Highly sought after in this area.

The count over Bonneville is dropping, but there are still some around.  I was actually trolling in shallow water for silvers & picked up this nice hen, 18 lbs.

Personally I would call them mid river brights, it isn't up river till they pass wells IMO

I'd say until they pass Wanapum, but you do have a point.

Yeah, you do have a point, but we call them upriver not upper river & Hanford Reach is certainly upriver from here.  Besides midriver brights just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Trolled shallow water this morning for a few hours for silvers with no luck so anchored up in 48 ft. for kings & caught a silver (Wild - released) - go figure yesterday fishing for silvers catch a king, today the opposite.

I see a lot more boats are trolling now & they're catching both silvers & kings.  Talked to a guy at the dock who gave me some pointers on trolling (I'm new to this).  I'll give it a try Monday, not fishing tomorrow.
