Lots of fish being caught by those in the know!

Curious on where guys are launching, thinking about getting out this weekend.  I'll figure rest out from there

Look closely and you can get the exact spot!

Lol..  I haven't fished that part of Columbia so it all looks the same.  I'm just looking to get on the water and start to learn it, guys work hard to dial in and not looking for a freeby.  I was just looking for a launch that guys might prefer.

Mfowl was gracious with a PM.

Head out mid morning, troll before the high tide then anchor up for the afternoon. If the water temps are above 63° I would be running wobblers, even in shallower water. Bite goes off of plugs/bait wraps in warmer water.

Thanks M fowl👍

There’s the problem, timeline🥲

Adult Chinook retention closes 7/1-7/31 from Astoria bridge to priest rapids dam. You can still fish sockeye/steelhead/jacks to my knowledge.

Lol friday 

[HntnFsh]

Yep. Closes for chinook adults Friday night.

Also, the Cowlitz will be dropping to 2400 cfs starting Saturday so be careful if you change venues!

Booyah! Me crackers the summer runs on those minimum flows

That rule change is gonna mess some people up. The regs booklet they just published says it's open for the general season, yet now it's closed short notice. Hopefully they still allow normal fall retention.

That's what I'm worried about.  Thinking of cancelling our buoy 10 trip and fishing the south sound.  Can day trip it if it stays open
