I came down with covid so now my work load is gonna be to backed up to get their so looks like I will be September fishing on the grays harbor rivers

Thanks. I have not been to the lake in a very long time. Use to catch decent sockeye out of their and sinse limit is back to 4 was just waundering if the sockeye are still smaller than they use to be.

Has anybody made it to Lake Wenatchee for the 4 sockeye limit yet? Just waundering if it is worth the drive and if the fish are still about 2 to 3 lbs apiece

Nice job I will be there middle of August. Hope for good numbers to. Sure a fun lake to fish

We get spring chinook every year hear. Just better runs sometimes. Our columbia river is the major highway for all types of fish traveling from our coast at Ilwaco boutique 10 all the way into Canada. Spring chinook are loaded with so much oil I think their better than the famous copper river salmon and the springers usually start coming into our river systems in April. Then the summer king will start to show up and then the fall salmon start in then we go to coho season. JFYI. thanks for the welcome. Search out the columbia river fishery if you like. Also huge sturgeon available in summer month's

Reason for action: In an effort to increase prey abundance for Southern Resident Killer Whales, 567,560 spring Chinook salmon were released in May of 2019 from the Fork’s Creek Hatchery. WDFW anticipates a limited number of returning 4-year-old Chinook from this one-time release will be available for a targeted fishery. This is a unique harvest opportunity that won’t occur again and fishery managers encourage anglers to harvest those hatchery-origin Chinook that are encountered.

4 yrs ago they released over 500 thousand spring smolt to help feed the resident orcas they say and this year they opened it up for the harvest of the returning fish. One time deal their saying g.

Hey everybody this is springer and I am new to this site so just wanted to say hi and hope we can learn feom one another.
