Just got back from a great Memorial Day Weekend and the weather and the fishing wear definetly  both above par over at the Potholes.  The Bass action remains good, use rapalas/spinnerbaits in the mornings and evenings.  Then pull out the soft plastics and cast away for action through out the heat of the day.  Next weekend there are tournaments both days at Potholes reservoir, you bass fishermen might want to stear clear.  Walleye again were all wrapped up…, “fish taco” style.  Trolling worked best for us with worm harnesses.   Both smiley blades and colorado blades were working.  No real big fish, but if you put your time in you will come across some better fish. 

What everybody is probably waiting for, are the first GOOD reports of summer chrome.  Well the fish are heading our way as I type.  I heard of a few steelhead from the cowlitz this weekend, but over all the number of fish being caught was low.  Barrier Dam sounded like the best bet.  I will be on the Cowlitz for at least 3 days the first week in June, and then depending on the fish and mother nature  I will stay, or head to the Skykomish River.  Make note of the many rivers that don’t open until the first Saturday in June…, nobody wants a fishing ticket!   If your looking to catch some summer chrome (steelhead/king salmon) call me before the peak days are all booked up.  Until next time…, Keep it wet,
