Overhead Branches are not a problem here in the land of no trees, nomatter where you fish. The Reach closed last week for salmon so the fish can spawn undisturbed. However the river is open below the old hanford town site for salmon and steelhead. some of the salmon are still in ok shape this time of year but most are getting pretty dark. If you want to bank fish the only place is at ringold. Fishing must be pretty good because its as crowded as ive seen it. The guide id recomend is Bruce Beemer, he has pulled fish from under my boat many atime. He can be reached at NW Marine and Sport in Pasco. He has a very comfortable rig and constantly catches fish. If he is not available ask for a recomdation. Good luck!!!
