Title: Anyone catching Salmon or steelhead in eastern Washington at all?
Post by: JJB11B on September 13, 2020, 01:14:14 PM: I've hit a couple spots on the snake, seen a lot of fish jumping and marked many many fish on the fishfinder but I have yet to see anyone out there hooked up to one? too warm still? The surface temp was 67 yesterday when I was fishing and visibility was super low due to the heavy smoke.

We did manage a few steelhead though.

Talked to several people that said the previous few days were great

What we did see was the most snow geese in my life. Wave after wave of them coming off the fields to the north, flying in a se direction. The blue sky looked to be white like sea foam there were so many. Lasted 30 minutes. 10,000 geese, probably a lot more? 95% snows.
