Sockeye Fishing in Tri-Cities

[Fatherof4]

Anyone dialed in yet, Sockeye opened the first of July, I've been out twice and got skunked, thought I had it figured out a couple of years ago when it was open, but now not so much.  We anchored up and threw spin n glos and wedding ring type lures off droppers for them tipped with coon shrimp and got nothing.  I have had luck trolling for them at Brewster, is anyone trolling for them in Tri-Cities?

I trolled for them on the first at bateman but no luck, had one on for a second.. saw 2 caught. they seem to be pretty tough to get to bite through here because  they are on a mission to get to Brewster and lk Wenatchee.

Wow!

That is impressive! Nice fish and good job, I was stuck fishing in Tri-Cities area again and not much luck. Tough conditions last time I went below Wannapum a few years back, heard they were doing better there also, gotta go upriver to Brewster area maybe after the 16th, used to be one of my favorite areas to fish.

No luck yesterday morning for a few hrs anchored in richland for me, thinking of trying wanapum this afternoon, it can get nasty there hoping for calm water!
