Only 150 fish over the xam so far... do not waste your time.

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'.

Huntbear is correct.  Wait until it hits 1000 per day

Not worth the gas money right now. Give it a week or 2 and it will get good.

I would say go for it, me, my dad, and brother went to John Day Dam last thursday and hooked two springers, but only landed 1 and brought home about 8 pound steelhead. I looked at the count for the dam that day and only a few went over. Not just lucky we always catch a few at john day before we head down to strawberry island.

I am going to go for it. I don't have anything to do anyhow. I will be leaving Friday after work from Ellensburg and staying until Sunday. The fish counts should just increase everyday anyway.
