The number of Sockeye returing to the Columbia have been in record numbers, as of yesterday there have been 378,641 counted at Bonneville. Which is four times the ten year average! The Technical Advisory Committie (TAC) has updated the run to 398,000. With this number there has been some exceptionally good sockeye fishing in the Columbia at the present time.
Our good friend and guide Jeff Witkowski send us this photo yesterday of a nice catch of Columbia River Sockeye. Jeff put in 6 hours on the river, hooked 42 fish to land their 12 fish. That's a lot of action! Jeff said that if anyone is interested that the fishing is great and should hold up well for another 10 days to two weeks. If you would like to have a great day on the water catching these great little fish give Jeff a call. Here's his contact information
