We were fishing primarily for Pikeminnow, but caught a few different ones instead. Starting fishing under the bridge between Richland and Pasco in Columbia Point Park. Worms worked for catching small 8-10in Rainbow Trout from the bank. Tube jigs didn't work in this location.

We made our way down to the point itself where it comes to the confluence with the Yakima River. A trolling boat saw plenty of fish on his sonar. They turned out to be Smallmouth Bass, which we got one 12in with green/pumpkin tube jigs.

Up the river about a mile from the bridge on the East bank (Pasco), we had no luck with tube jigs, worms, or rooster tails. Further up we tried Ringold Springs. The shores were flooded along most trails except for the rocky boat launch area on the South side of where the canal flows into the river. Same tube jig floated with the current in a few feet of water and snagged a decent size Carp (16in / 5lbs maybe?).

The last location we tried was upstream from the Wahluke boat launch. Same deal with nothing working. Nobody else there had any luck either.
