Bank fishing for salmon around Lewiston?
« on: May 15, 2024, 01:22:19 PM »
We are headed down to Lewiston this weekend for a race my daughters in “Just for the Hill of it”. 7 miles and 1700 vertical feet. Goal is under 50 min. Anyways that is her goal, my goal is to try and catch a king 😂 I’ve been seeing guys doing really good fishing from boats right under the bridge in town, limits by 6am.

Any recommendations on a place you could bank fish for them? Was thinking of tossing a bucktail tipped with a full shrimp under a slip bobber. Other thoughts?
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

WDFW closed the snake to springers on the 13th.

Once again, the sportsman got a week of fishing for a single fish a day.

Well that solves that issue 😝

Looks like Mann lake for channel cats…

My uncle lives in Lewiston. Use to go fish with him a ton. If you go to Mann lake bring a crappie rod. We use to load up on them years ago, don’t know if it’s still like that.

Sounds like a blast, we’ll definitely toss in crappie rods and jigs.
