Same for me tonight. Back breaking labor to say the least. I ended up with about 5 or so lbs after an hour of dipping. That was enough for me. Hopefully this weekend the water will drop and clear some. Maybe the body aches will be gone by then too.

Wow it dropped alot. Got 2 limits in an hour mostly at the end. Once we found a deeper spot along the dike at Riverside park it was gravy. Mostly small males. Are they early this year or what?

I went under the bridge last night and "Smeltersized" for an hour or so and got about five pounds. 0-3 per dip. Females starting to show up. Got one male fish the size of a trout.

It took me less than half an hour at riverside last night. I guess I just had a good spot. Almost all males and they're starting to get skinny.

Riverside park is between Kelso and Castle rock on the West side of the river. I forget the name of the road it's off of, but it's the main road on the west bank. Park on top of the dike and walk down and dip your fish.
