Look in to the Skagit/Cascade. They were talking about that on Outdoor Line/710AM last Saturday. Not sure when it opens but they were hyping it up.

I would not bother with the Columbia this weekend even though they are opening it Sat/Sun! They are pouring water through Bonneville like crazy. It was at 264,000cfs last Saturday when I fished and that was high, now its pushing 350,000cfs.
