Oh, they are in all right in the PS Zipperlip spot where I have been fishing, but not on the bite real well - had one 20 minute limit day but then the jellyfish moved in so I had to switch from trolling to jigging (and me with a bad rotator cuff frown ), so the CPUE dropped off a bit for me. Also, water seems horribly hot - 66-67 degrees eek , and that can't help. Marking lots of fish, especially with my sidescan sonar, but that does me little good if I can't go after them with the trolling gear, and running manaically around after them with a jig is getting me lots of dirty looks rolleyes . And it's good weather for gillnetting but bad weather for fishing, so I don't doubt that the tribes are getting back at us for aceing them out on sockeye - I bet that's the only time we get to catch more than they do this year :p . Finally, fish are late in the Columbia like they were for the spring and summer fisheries, and so are still getting hammered out in the ocean - and when they do come it will be over quick. Myself, I'm hoping my local GH honey hole produces this year laugh

The fishing was GREAT! The catching could have used some improvement however........
