2 Bell ringers today plunking the cow. 1 brief hookup. Seemed like everybody at least had a chance if not a fish. It's happening!

Planning a trip to barrier this extended easter weekend. Any tips for someone who only experience was side drifting summer steelhead last year with just corkys and yarn?

You should be prepared to fish a couple different methods. If your in close quarters with others you should fish how everyone else is. If everyone if drift fishing don't start throwing a bobber and eggs in the middle of them. If you have elbow room fish how you would like. The water will likely still be very high, fish closer to shore, the fish won't be battling the intense current in the middle of the river.

The season ended before the run really got going. Lets pray for an extension by Friday.

I was hoping to get out after some turkeys this spring. The extension includes the 20th-23rd as well. That is the Klickitat 3D shoot I was hoping to make. It really forces a guy to pick a priority. Also, I wanted to get after some sheds, but a guy can only do so much.
