tri cities salmon?

I've heard 4 or 5 days. Looking at all the dam counts though it looks to be 3 or so days that they're able to move through the dams.

That's sounds about right, I have been watching the dam counts pretty close. I'm off to white bluffs to give that a shot.

[hunt_fish]

Good luck, I still haven't tried the white bluffs hole. But I heard of decent fishing up there and vernita last weekend, so it should be good. With over 10000 going over McNary the last two days this weekend should be good.

Can some of you guys post up pic'ts of how you are rigging? All I have ever used is plugs with no success. Been a while since i even tried, but might have time during this run.

What are you trying to fish with that you need help with the rigging?  Herring, superbaits, plugs, eggs?  Off downriggers, weight, or divers?

[gaddy]

No down riggers, maybe i need one. Years ago when i fished for salmon the hot ticket was magworts or wigglewarts or flat fish, not to mention the old Krokidile. Now i am hearing about super-baits, breakaway flashers and other things that i don't even know what they are. Just wanted to see a set up that works. I hate relying on the sporting goods stores for information.

Go on youtube. Search how to rig a brads bait. Or Hanford reach salmon. That's how I learned, then made some modifications.

Sportsman has a board with different setups displayed and ranch and home has some setups displayed as well. Basically it is a 11 in poll troll flasher with a leader about 3 feet to 5 feet long  to a superbait with tuna stuffed inside or you could use a wrapped kwick fish or troll herring behind the flasher

Im having coffee at the McNary fish ladder right now.  A king coming through about every two minutes and some really nice steelhead.. 

Just a heads up!!!!

Didn't know the dams were in when you were a kid.  That was a long ass time ago.
