Cold Morning, Hot Columbia Bite 01/21/2026

Cold Ride, Warm Bite

We jumped in the boat and hit the Columbia today, making the slick drive from the Tri-Cities to Irrigon through freezing fog. Taking it slow paid off, and we made it safely to the launch.

It was a pleasure fishing with Ed and the crew again. Even with the cold conditions, we stayed warm thanks to a solid bite and the heater cranked up high. Plenty of action, good laughs, and another fun day on the water made it all worth it.
