Bouy 10 - Lower Columbia River

We have had nothing but "Great" reports coming out of the Bouy 10 / Lower Columbia River the past couple of days. Lots of nice Chinook are being landed at the present time and most everyone we have spoke with having no problem in getting their limits and off the river early. Blue sized herring fished behind an in-line flasher such as a Fish-Flash, Agitator or Kone Zone and presented in the strike zone by either a diver or lead has been the most common approach to this fishery. For the most part this is a Chinook fishery at the preset time though we have heard of a few coho being caught in the river already.
