Flood Gate Reports Ongoing 5/4

I didn’t get down here and on the water until 430 but the fishing was unbelievable. I fished until 630 and then called it quits for dinner. A buddy of mine caught a 6.25 pound brown. I don’t have a picture of it, but it was a beauty. I caught this 20 inch rainbow and lost count of how many fish were caught.  I’m headed over there in the morning again.

Sorry I didn’t recognize you. Couldn’t believe everyone left just as it got real good.

That is one fat rainbow!

There were shad swimming everywhere.

Got there this morning right after sunrise.   Both are 22”.  I weighed one and the one that flopped was a little thinner.   Take off a few ounces for the silicone netting I can’t clear when they are in the water.  Caught em real good until about 10 and slowed down to good😁

That is a fat one.

Gates aren't open down here at Bull, but lots of generation. I haven't heard of any shad up at the dam, but some caddis are still coming up. 

Got this brown this morning on an elk hair.

@snagged in outlet 3 and @netboy those are pretty and big trout! Looks like a great time. Hope that you can get out a few more times while the bite is hot.

Got out again this morning right first light.  Overcast, fog and flood gates.   Caught this 26”-27” Costco salmon right off the bat.  The “check it” board is 25” long.  Hardest fighting fish of all of them.
