What a finish! Three incredible days of fishing at Drano Lake with Mike, Lori, and their family. From start to finish, the bite was on, the laughs were nonstop, and the coolers are going home full. We’re so grateful for this crew and their annual tradition with us—it’s always one of the highlights of the fall season. Until next year, thanks for making it another trip to remember!

Day two on Drano Lake with Mike, Lori, and family, and the action just keeps rolling. Yesterday’s success carried right into today, with steady bites and plenty of fish making it to the net. The highlight was was Mike with the big fish. After limiting the family we called Dan to have him buzz down to get some fish for himself. With one more day left, we’re excited to finish strong and make more memories on the Columbia.

Day 1 – Kickoff Here we go—back at Drano Lake for three days of fishing with Mike, Lori, and their family! This crew makes the trip every year to load up on fall salmon and stock the freezer, and day one set the tone for another great trip. The rods stayed busy, the salmon were biting, and by the end of the day it was smiles all around. A strong start to a tradition we always look forward to!

The Legend hit the water today with Nate and his family for a full-on “river gym” workout chasing Columbia River sturgeon. The rods bent, the adrenaline was pumping, and the crew got a true taste of what it’s like to battle these prehistoric giants. From the Tri-Cities to The Dalles, we’ve got you covered—let’s get you on the water and into some of these big fish!

We’ve been absolutely mopping them up at Drano Lake! The fishing right now is nothing short of incredible—the bite is hot, the rods are bending, and the salmon just keep filling the nets. Day after day, the action has been fast and steady, and our clients are going home with full coolers and big smiles. This fall fishery is one of the highlights of the year, and it’s showing exactly why Drano Lake is such a special place. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to book, don’t wait any longer. The bite is on, the fish are here, and we’re ready to get you on the water. Let’s go!

A day in the life at Drano Lake: limits, limits, limits! The action has been nonstop and the smiles just keep coming. Now’s the time to get ahead—let’s get you on the schedule for next year so you don’t miss out on one of the hottest salmon fisheries around.

Yesterday’s scouting trip paid off in a big way for the crew that joined us today. It was a fantastic day on the water, jigging up plenty of Columbia River walleye. The guys were all smiles, and by early afternoon we wrapped things up with a full boat limit—always leaving some in the river for others to enjoy. If you’ve been thinking about making the trip, now’s the time! From the Tri-Cities to the Gorge, we’ve got you covered and ready to put you on fish.

Back to the walleye grounds for a little pre-fishing before client trips pick up again. We made the short drive from the Tri-Cities to Umatilla, Oregon, and spent the morning jigging up some quality walleye. Every fish caught today was released, but it was the perfect warm-up for what’s ahead. Fall walleye season is here—one of our favorite times of the year—and it brings plenty of opportunity for great jig fishing and big smiles on the Columbia. We’re ready to roll!

Another day at Drano Lake and another day of limits for our clients! This morning we trolled 360 flashers paired with spinners, and the hot ticket was chartreuse and pink blades. The action was steady, the rods stayed busy, and limits came quick. It’s absolutely worth the drive from the Tri-Cities to get in on this fast-paced fall salmon bite. Don’t miss your chance to experience it!
