I have had the chance to take several trips down to the Yakima river near the hatchery. I have also learned some great techniques that have landed me a few great salmon.
As you might be aware, Salmon are currently seeking the return to the spawn area on the Yakima River off of the Columbia River. The Salmon are currently very active. These Salmon are seeking food and are becoming territorial.

I have had success using a wiggle wart or hot shot during the territorial phase, and frest Salmon eggs or Roe during the feeding phase.

Setup
Use a simple single salmon egg hook with a bobber and a swivel. This works well at around five feet of depth.
I don't want to share all my secrets, but, let it be known that the fish are biting!
