Title: Bank fishing for salmon around Lewiston?
Post by: TeacherMan on May 15, 2024, 01:22:19 PM: We are headed down to Lewiston this weekend for a race my daughters in “Just for the Hill of it”. 7 miles and 1700 vertical feet. Goal is under 50 min. Anyways that is her goal, my goal is to try and catch a king 😂 I’ve been seeing guys doing really good fishing from boats right under the bridge in town, limits by 6am.

Any recommendations on a place you could bank fish for them? Was thinking of tossing a bucktail tipped with a full shrimp under a slip bobber. Other thoughts?

Once again, the sportsman got a week of fishing for a single fish a day.

Sounds like a blast, we’ll definitely toss in crappie rods and jigs.
