Because of this hot weather the fish aren't going to want to run up the shallower water so they are staying in the Columbia for us to catch :)

Good thing Im getting a new boat next week... anybody want to sell me a couple of downriggers? haha

Yeah it does, the shallower the water, the faster it will heat up, but really its more of the tributaries that dump into nthe okanogan that are warmer. All together, its a raging warm and muddy river.

You don't need to tell me exactly were and how, I just need to know how long your drive was and how deep on the rigger? How about pictures that have a good background shot?

20-25 ft deep. yelps background of the dock is a good hint if youve been there.
