Title: Is it worth going salmon fishing above Bonneville dam??
Post by: huntergreg on April 15, 2012, 04:31:50 PM: Think it would be any good fishing above the dam this coming weekend? I want to get out and try for salmon but dont know if it is worth the trip or not. What are your thoughts?? :dunno:

I looked at the count for the dam that day and only a few went over. Not just lucky we always catch a few at john day before we head down to strawberry island.
