Fished the Columbia the past three days:

- Kalama area two days ago, no fish, no runs, no errors. Nobody (well, two boats)fishing when we got there in the afternoon. Fished the low tide change, incoming tide.

- Camas area, above I-205. Yesterday, saw three fish for about 8 boats. Nothing in our boat. Today, 5 fish for about 12 boats. One in ours, too many fins, though about 24 Lbs! Of the five fish, four were natives. One sea lion.

Stopped by the Kalama ramp on the way home at 4:00pm. The fish checker gal said she had checked 4 keeper fish for about a gazallion boats.

Very crowded conditions at both Camas and Kalama ramps.

Seacat was along in the boat today, with his brother-in-law. Despite all rumors to the contrary, he can in fact tie his own knots, quite competently, though it does take him a little bit of time. We had a pretty darn good time, laying a layer of smack talk down that was at least five feet feet thick above river level. Rumors that the teams' bodily emissions exceeded the Camas paper mills' in toxicity are yet to substantiated. Reports on Kielbasa composition are being requested by several state agencies.

Other than that, it was a beautiful weekend on the river.
