Dang, hopefully they are coming.  70 over the dam at this time of the year is a bit spooky.

Shad should reach McNary and Ice Harbor dams by mid-June in numbers that make for great fishing.  Weighing up to 8 pounds apiece, millions of shad have begun moving up the Columbia River.

8 Pounds??


That's twice the state record....

Holy catpiss - that'd be fun off the slippery rocks with an ultralight.
Too bad they don't exist that big, as you know.

Does anyone know what time they open the gate on the Washington side? I can't remember if it is 6 or 7am.
