I can't wait had a blast down there last year.  As soon as the fish numbers get good I'm on my way.

I'll be on the bank again this year, watchin the zoo.

I will be as well for the most part.  Most evenings after work, and weekends. 

It is so much fun to watch the guide boats pushing the dead line, then the Wardens filming them and then writing them tickets for every rod in the water..   :chuckle: :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

The dams have been dumping like mad! I fished for 12hrs by st.helens yesterday 1 fish "nate" for about 40 boats. Then spent 7hrs to day around corbett, heard of 1 fish caught out of about 30+ boats. SUCKS! The water is so high and ripping!

I fished from the dock in washougal yesterday and you should have been up there. ! fish on the dock right below me. And we watched the guides put on a clinic across the river from us.
I left at 10 and the 4 guides i know that were fishing over there had 8 fish on by 10. I don't know how they did for the rest of the day. They were running sardine wrapped kwicks in shallow water.

Thats cray! we were out there up above and no one caught jack! With the water rippin like that I am suprised anyone did. All the guides up by us "4" did not catch one fish in the 7 hours I was out there. I guess we should have went lower. We trolled and sat on wrapped kwicks

I've never been there but scheduled a trip with Phil with Mystical Legands   mid May.  Wanted to see what it was about but not in my22' Arima.

Carp the guides were anchored in 10-12 feet of water.
 
The guy right below me on the dock had an 18 pound springer. It hit a green spin-n-glo with mylar wings.
