I'd like to try and sight fish for big carp using my stand n fish yak and a fly rod, I've found some on the Willamette but am clueless about the Columbia. Looking for clear slower running water. Anyone have some spots to suggest?
thanks

Any water off the main current above Bonneville or the Dalles dam.

thanks for the info, wondering what the deal is with shooting carp? they really aren't good for much except the fight, why kill them? Don't they have target ranges with moving targets or something?
my 2 cents...

I used to travel 84 a lot back and forth from school and remember that a lot of the small waters inside the RR tracks had tons of carp. You could literally see them going 65-75 there were so many. Mostly remember between Biggs and Hood River
