westrate Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 This past week, the lake turned over and cold water moved in and the bait and salmon followed. Along with the salmon and the beginning of the run, the government decided it was time to dredge the harbor and on Saturday, they floated out the pipes to 20 foot of water and began to dredge. Sunday, they did not dredge however the pipes are still floating out and to the south--so much for fishing out in front the piers and we will have to move back off shore. The fishing was very good Thurs., Friday and the first part of Saturday with 4 year old Chinook salmon and some adult Coho salmon producing limit catches. In front the piers, the best methods included Stingray lures and Nitro lures on 3 color lead core 3 color lead core with Silver Horde plugs (silver/green, silver, wonderbread) downriggers with plugs and Nitro lures E Chip flashers (white/glow and silver) and Rapture flies (mirage and green hypnotist) on diversOnce back off shore, we should be back to flashers and flies and plugs on copper. I do not know how long the dredging will take place or how long the pipes will be floating off to the south. With all summer to dredge the harbor, why they decided to start it on a weekend during the run is beyond my comprehension. Check back and see what happens next week.
