Tried fishing around Vantage on Saturday. Winds were very high. Original plan was to fish around the bridge and South of there. Winds forced us to the North of the bridge right along the West side (protected from the wind). One strike... no others hits or anything. We were briefly entertained by a large salmon? It was jumping right next to our boat. It jumped maybe 4 or 5 times.

We knew we were short on time, We had hoped to get down around Crescent Bar - but that would have left us with too little time to fish. Plus, the high winds would have made for a rough trip. Haven't fished down at Crescent Bar yet. I have heard the fishing is better down there.
