Over the weekend I managed to break out and fish a bit.  I had a family fishing trip with my Dad  and Sister.  We had a blast catching largemouth and smallmouth bass.  The typical soft plastics, accompanied with crank baits and surface baits did the trick.  We fished the Columbia river/Potholes reservoir and did very well.  Let me know if you would like to book a trip where you can set the hook…, over and over, and over again on game fish (bass) between 2-6lbs!  I can help set up any over night arrangements, as well.

The River Report:  The typical summer steelhead/summer salmon rivers have all but dropped right into “fishy” shape.  The fish are here and they are being caught.   Remember summer steelhead come in sexually immature and can be caught almost anywhere in the rivers they swim.  With that said I will be on the water starting tomorrow for a four day stint between the Cowlitz and the Sky Rivers.   One more thing…, summer runs seem to like spinners and spoons more than there winter cousins (big natives excluded).  Especially when you see active, rising fish and/or are fishing unfamiliar water searching for fish.   If your tired of fishing and want to do some serious catching…, give me a call!  See you on the water.
