If you believe the fish counts, there aren't may fish between Ice Harbor and LowMo.  The fish counts show 94, 241 steelhead over Ice Harbor and 93,974 over LowMo.  Of those fish that would mean only 267 steelhead between Ice Harbor and LowMo.  I am confident my last several trips above Ice Harbor I have marked way more fish than that, so those numbers are a bit suspect in my mind.  That being said, if the fish are seeking cooler water it wouldn't surprise me if a fairly large number aren't continuing upriver looking for it.  I haven't been above Ice Harbor for a few days as I have been bass and walleye fishing elsewhere every day, but the temp had actually bumped back up a bit last time I was up there. 

70sdiver, that's funny about the squawfish. I got one of the largest one's I've ever caught the other day while trolling for walleye.

Has anyone messed around with different scents? For me I've normally used Mikes gel shrimp or garlic. I just picked up a bottle of Anise & Krill scent. I think I might buy some of the Pautzke bait Co. Pure krill powder to add to my shrimp, anyon have any thoughts on this?
