Anybody on the smallies yet?
« on: May 04, 2012, 09:37:29 PM »
Hey all,

I would think the YAK is high and not quite fishable yet?

Ya I thought so too but just seeing what some of the other "spots" people are hitting that may be an indication of the migration happening.

Three of us got 10 up in the Dalles pool last Thursday, still seemed a bit slow.  About half and half on rubber and cranks, with a couple 3 pounds and one 4 pounder.  Water temps were running 51 everywhere we went.  Fished Vacouver area yesterday and not a nibble, water real high and dirty w/ temps at 50.

Maybe a couple more weeks?

The way it was heating up 2 weeks ago I thought it would be full swing.  I went out again, Saturday for 3 hours and landed 5 fish.  :(      The averaged about 3 pouns with one pig that went almost 5.  Water temp in main river still only 54 degrees.
