The Reach was pretty cooperative last week. The water temps have quickly dropped below 60 and the fish seem to be getting more aggressive. I’ve been using superbaits and roe to entice our bites. It’s ...

I fished White Bluffs on Tuesday. I know it’s a little early, but I was really hopeful we would tag a few. I did mark a few salmon on the fish finder, but couldn’t force one to bite. The water was 67 ...
