nice work. how long does the run usually last? I've never fished the C for anything but STurgeon, but I think I'll try to make it down this weekend and see if I can hook into a couple steelies.

We went 2-5 with one of the 5 being a king. Daughter landed her first steelhead. Learned something new today. The "crew" were using a sliding sinker set up that allowed it to slide between the two riggings. We switched and it worked, but why? Can't figure it out.

Well today was way better for me. I landed 4 steelhead and one salmon with 2 steelhead and 1 salmon released. All the fish i caught were on pink watermellon #2 spin glows with sand shrimp sent. I was fishing between mile markers 47 and 48 on the columbia off the rocks. good fishing everyone the water is clearing up and the fish are biting . All the fish that i caught were between noon and 5 oclock.
