Bonneville Shad Fishing

The Columbia River shad fishery continues to be quite good for those fishing below Bonneville Dam. With over 90,000 going through on Wednesday and over 30,000 the past two days the numbers equate to some really good fishing opportunities for anyone making the trip. We should still see some good fishing through the Fourth of July weekend and perhaps some fishing even after that. Though most folks do not fish them to any extent further up the Columbia the area below John Day Dam can be equally productive.
