Not a thing. I fished between the Edison ramp and the Blue Bridge. Columbia is only 40 degrees.

16'. Lund Fury 1625 XL.

Powerwashed the Columbia River scum line off the Lund from last season and got her ready to fish. Will be out tomorrow trying to unlock the spring smallmouth bite, which as evaded me for a while.

Was just discussing this report with my wife. She, of course, has now removed freshwater fish from her diet. My take is at 71 already with heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I'll take my chances with eating the next walleye I...

Great idea, but here in Tri-Cities it would be the other way around.

Going to start by acknowledging I only got part way through page 2 of the thread (old age brings short attention span and patience). It is fun to ponder this question with your significant other as you approach retirement, but be warned your vision of retirement is probably nowhere near the...

Thanks Rich! Been wanting to get back out on the river, but just can't handle the cold anymore.

I have fished for smallmouth bass my whole life, growing up in the Finger Lakes Region of NY. However, I only dabbled in fly rodding for them. Now that I am spending 90% of my fishing time on the "big" rivers around the Tri-Cities gear fishing for bass it is about time to go after them with a...

Saw this on Youtube and, as always, a great trip video. Love seeing you get your girls out and letting them experience nature. Keep taking us along.

I did a little looking around and found there are a number of apps that claim to show public and private lands. I created an account on BaseMap so I could get a closer look but if you want any useful detail you need the "pro" version at $30+/year. Any of you guys using these apps, like OnX or...

So creative and talented. I poured over his writing as I tried to improve my knowledge and skills. RIP Dave.

I have been supporting these guys for a while => https://www.plwa.org/, Public Land Water Access Association out of Bozeman.

I hear you. Always told myself when I retire and have more time I would be fishing every day. Well, when I got there I let other trivial things get in the way. I blamed losing the passion for fishing, but as most of the others have pointed out it is all the things associated with getting...

Nice report Tom, as usual. We have to meet for some fishing. Either here in the Tri-Cities chasing smallies on the Snake/Columbia/Yakima or chasing trout out your way.

More than I want to see again for a long time in Richland. On the plus side, the wind "raked" the leaves out of my yard and my grandson's trampoline stayed put.

I recently joined a fly fishing club. Years ago I was an active member of a TU chapter in Upstate NY. Served on the board for several years and a couple of terms at president. This cured me of joining "clubs", but now at 71 and finally admitting I should probably not fish alone as much as I...

Yes, I get knew that, but from the same posting..."Please be aware that Public Lands (Department of Natural Resources, United State Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management) each have their own jurisdictions and authorities for outdoor burning rules on those lands. Here are some helpful links...

Camping at Big Pine next week. Does the camp host have fire wood for sale or do I need to bring my own? Thanks.

Most of the dumb stuff I've done on the river was back East and involved alcohol. I want to think I'm a little smarter now.

That NY plate must be from my old hometown. Maybe one of my HS classmates.
