We had another great day today fishing below the John Day Dam for great fighting and even greater eating spring Chinook. We landed a total of 5 fish today, but only ended with 2 keepers.

Our best fishing today was from daylight through about 10 am and then again from 1pm -3pm. We did best today on K-14 kwickfish in the fickle pickle color, and a Chartreuse head with a chrome body.

Again tuna wrapped plugs were our stand out best producer. All our bites came fishing tuna packed in oil straight from the can.

We are fortunate that this fishery was extended through Sunday the 8th and I have an open boat Sunday.

I sure enjoyed our brief, but successful morning out on May 3rd. We had 4 takedowns and landed 2 keepers in only an hour. I guess you spoiled me. I wish the limit was 6 as I think we'd have done it. Nice to fish over gravel bars and a ledge so we didn't have snags.

You are a great source of fishing info too. I really enjoyed the time. Good luck on the Snake.
