I thought the limit was 2?   But I never checked the regs.  Just what I was told.   Man, am I hooked n these big fish.  That was my first time believe it or not. Fished it once along time ago with a friend but did not catch anything.

Limit is 5 above the dam. Don't know about below.

I was just using a 3/4 oz. slip weight, 48” leader with a #4 hook, baited with garlic chartreuse powerbait ball and another powerbait ball with a long orange tail on it.  Tried to add marshmallow but it just kept falling off.

They are locked down on the rez can you blame them we gave them small pox in blankets years ago the fishing on roosevelt is just as good if not better the problem with hating on the tribes is most of those fish were raised on the rez. I've got over 30 Spokane  tribe tagged fish this winter yet to catch a WFDW tagged one. Anyone catching salmon on the Columbia should say made on the rez.

Those are some dang nice fish BTW. I have not had that kind of luck. Well done!

Thanks for the info.  Buckcanyonlodge, those are some fatties.  I'm gonna get out over the holidays.  Best tasting fish around.  I filet them, and can peel the skin right off after they've been frozen.  Lots of fat under the skin.  Taste great deep fried!

Looks like I’m going up in the morning.  Hopefully I’ll have some pics to post.

Well, just one.  My brother-in-law caught one. Pretty slow. We only fished for 4 hours.   Still fun.  Nice day.

We did good when we went after Christmas.
Limits like these for 3 days. Lots of fun and great quality fish

Nice job, Whitey.  Those are some fatties.
