we were able to get several limits before the weather warmed up. The canyon had bigger fish that took longer to to catch while the Selah area had smaller fish but more of them. Most were caught with Gordy tied flies 4ft under a bobber. caught some bottom drifting.

Please tell us that the sucker wasn't kept for human consumption.

there was no differents in the taste just a little different bone pattern, lets just say Gordy didn't complain when some may have some how got mix'd in with the whitefish! ;.} sucker is very good smoked. I'll have to target them this spring and throw some pictures up of the process.

The dip looks good! I thought you shouldn't eat suckers because of health concerns, i could be confusing it with the pikeminnow though.

throwing roe beads under a bobber on the Skook will net you a ton of whitefish, tho they are smaller in size.
