Friday report. we hooked 4 and landed 3 to the boat. they lowered the water level by like 3 feet and upped the flow. fish count dropped to 1200 from what i heard... My dad caught his limit and I landed one. it was a loooong day... we fished from 5am to 5pm.... nice hens. my dad and i had a bet on who would catch the largest one... needless to say he bought the drinks  had a great time. i'll post pitchers tomorrow. BIG thanks to phil stephens. he's the man and it seemed like we were the only ones getting into fish on friday...

when I've done it on the lewis it was a snag fest(not me) every fish came in backwards and they were keeping them...oh wait its the same in the day time there too

You forgot to mention the best place to do this on the Lewis is right in the ladder to the hatchery!  I couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw it.  The Gamie right beside me looked equally shocked

haha if you couldnt tell my dad REALLY likes fishing!

You guys were definitely the high liners that day....we fished the wind for 5 hours 5 rods and never had a sniff.  We said high to Phil from the road just above you at around noon at Drano just after your second fish.  Phil is one of the best, great job-  Prawns, herring, or mag lip???

Great fish guys , yes Phil is the best IMHO ,how is he doing healthwise ?

[helzbelz888]

he's doing great. he is on this months cover of salmon trout steelheader. we were using all of the above.. the fish are just really finicky... wish they hadnt messed with the water... but all things considered we made out well!
