Anyone east side steelhead fishing yet?
Numbers are looking OK across McNary.
Probably going to pull plugs at the mouth of the Umatilla this weekend.
I heard a few are being caught below Ice Harbor bobber fishing with shrimp.

Have not heard of many being caught yet but am interested to see how you do this weekend.

Probably keep an eye on the dam counts? Looks to be steelhats top to bottom! Good Luck!

Still fishing the Columbia below Mcnary and at the mouth of the Snake. I won't move up to Ice Harbor until October.
I do use lighted lures but not as much as years ago. Makes me sick that you can't get the Vortex anymore. The lighted lures are now disposable and I have issue with that. They do work though but so does shrimp and bobber fishing is very relaxing way to fish.

Oh man! I still have one old vortex with the replaceable battery. I usually head above ice harbor at the lock once the weather gets really cold . Have had some crazy nights in that little whirlpool!
