Title: Bonneville Dam Sockeye fishery
Post by: TheHunt on February 05, 2012, 09:14:03 AM: Anyone know much about it? I watching Angler's West and it looks like it is pretty fun.

In June and July I think I could get over there with my drift boat and a motor. Thoughts?

Have not yet had the opportunity to try it, but hoping to maybe this year!
