Fishers Catch Outfitters Fishing Report
Hanford Reach Fall Salmon 9/27
It has been a bit of a grind for the Fishers Catch Outfitters crew on the Columbia River. The fall salmon seem to be eluding our gear. We have targeted them with super baits and back trolling eggs, spinners and kwicks. It has been a tough bit with just a few bites each day and a couple fish landed. We are looking forward to continued better fishing and hoping the bite gets going for us here on the FCO boat. Never give up it will happen!!
