Northwest Fishing Reports

I'm heading over there for the next two weeks on Sunday, ill be fishing the Columbia some of the time.
Has anyone been having any luck for the smallies over there lately? I haven't seen any reports from that area recently...

Hey JT...I'm giving your thread a bump,see if you can get some help.

Wish I could help JT but never fished that side of the mtns yet,..sorry!

Fish the back side of the islands with carolina rigged lizards in browns and greens and dropshot baits in some kind of white pattern. Also the bridge pilings are a good bet to drop shot. I also like to always have a rattle trap tied on. A word of warning, pay close attention to the channel marker buoys. This river can eat props. I tore up two props in 3 weeks there. I was fishing up the Yakima though, and the water went from 5' to 2" real quick#-o The fish bite better with some current running. There are also some good pump houses on the main river that hold a bunch of fish. Good luck.

If you don't have a boat or can't find any smallies then the carp fishing is really good on the local piers.

Haha I actually thought about that after reading KevinB's thread. I've seen huge carp just lazily swimming around by the piers. I will definitely try if the smallies aren't biting.
And WCCT, thanks for the advice. I'll only have a boat for one day, but this is very helpful!

Oh yeah, thanks for the bump KevinB.

Im leaving tomorrow morning if anybody has anymore advice!
And when i get back ill be sure to post plenty of pics.

No problem their JT

Hope you have fun. Good luck out there and as always..Be safe
Take care
Kevin

You want to also have some 1/8 oz jigs with grubs or twin tails in watermelon. My buddy and I kill them on that combo!
