Took a couple of Columbia guys out in the drift boat and the fishing was pretty good. They caught fish regularly as we made our way down river, but never in bunches except for one spot below Mary Decker where they got three fish in a row. About half the fish were showing the effects of the spawn. They had the skinny, post-spawn look going on and the fight in these skinnier fish was lacking. The other fish were still fat and fighting well. The fishing has tailed off since the fall, but it is still pretty good. Stoneflies and eggs took al the fish.
