Overall the spring chinook fishing on the Columbia has not been exactly a ball of fire! Most individuals that we have spoke with have been "Skunked" more often than not. There has been a little improvement over the prior week and there has been an odd boat that has gotten into them, but they have been the exception rather than the rule. Hopefully, we should be seeing some radical improvement in the next few weeks with the preseason forecasts that were given to us by the WDFW and ODFW.
Here's a photo of Buzz Ramsey and friend Mike Kelly with a nice respective spring chinook caught last Friday on the Lower Columbia between Kalama and Longview. The fish came from an anchored boat on a Yakima Bait Mag Lip in Fluorescent Red color.
60inches of leader and a 36 inch lead dropper.
Buzz mentioned that his fish was one of two that he saw landed amongst the dozen boats in the hog line.
Like I mentioned earlier, fishing wasn't exactly hot.
