I'm heading over to fish below Bonniville dam the end of this month. any advice would be appreciated. I am mainly going to fish for oversized fish . It's to long a trip to keep fish fresh.

rember it is catch and release only till october 1 in this area
be sure to check the local regulations.

i can give you more informaiton if you like. let me know what you need

Just wondering if there are still shad floaters coming down and what is the best bait to use this time of year. Also how the weather has been. Thanks for the help

the shad run is over but if you have some shad it would not hurt to fish with them, smelt are all but gone and not available in the bait stores to speak of. sand shrimp and night crawlers will also work there was a great article in salmon and steelhead journal for July on how to tie up sand shrimp.
the weather here has been nice and dry but the winds in the gorge have been gusting

best advice for weather is to check accuweather.com or weather.com for the city of Corbett Oregon or cascade locks Oregon that will give you a idea of the temp and winds

let me know if i can do anything else to assist you

Thanks for the info I'll let ypou know how we do. I have some frozen eel that I can get at one of our sporting goods store I'll try it to.

My advice is to take pictures if you actually catch something. I keep hearing fish stories, but never no fish. Oh, and what time are you picking me up?
