Title: Salmon fishing at the Hanford reach this weekend?
Post by: syoungs on July 09, 2013, 07:18:44 PM: I have a uncle coming into town from back east that wants to get into some fish.
Last year we took him out and got him into some oversize, he wants salmon this year, I was thinking about doing a guided trip on the reach, Havent contacted any guides yet, are the salmon worth fishing for in july on the reach?

any other ideas that are within a couple hour drive from the tri cities?

thanks

The fall kings that are fished in the Hanford Reach won't really be there until September in numbers. Not sure if the upriver fish are catchable in that area either. Not sure what guides to contact for fishing the upper Columbia. Call "Hooked on Toys" in Wenatchee, they could probably give you some ideas.

Thanks for the info!
