We were actually fishing Mag Warts, and we caught most of our fish at the head of rapids or in seams between a chute and the flat water right next to it. The reason our plugs weren't hitting is because we really focused on the slow water, so plugs were working very slowly and probably only 1-2 feet under water.

Crowds weren't too bad, but definitely better on Thursday than Friday and Saturday. About 4 guide boats and 3-5 other boats. Quite a few bankies. We talked to a lot of the guides and they touched less fish than us. Again, I think this was due to the purple plugs. Also, they fished the lower part towards Boggan's Crossing, whereas we went all the way up to the Oregon line and floated from there.
