Bonneville count is on the way down again 934 today. As for the Willamette count, well it's all over the place but has never really taken off at all.

The Army Corp hadn't updated the Bonneville Dam counts for about 5 days until tonight.

Willamette Falls finally broke the 100 fish per day mark and Bonneville is currently on it's second day in a row over 3500!

WOW! Drano has to be stacked w/ fish by now since the fish haven't really been hitting yet. I have a feeling one of these weekends when it warms a bit is gonna break wide open...

WOW!  Those are big numbers.  I haven't seen a big "catch" yet at Drano per ifish, but I know it's coming soon.

Anybody giving Drano a try this weekend?

I probably won't be able to update the plot until tonight, but the count was 3994 last night.

The Bonneville plot is now updated through tonight (April 30th).   The new count made me do some major adjustments to the axes.

6645

How is it that none of these fish seem to be stopping by Drano Lake (at least according to IFish.net reports)?

Drano becomes more attractive to upriver bound fish later in the year, when the mainstem Columbia starts warming up above their comfort zone. For now, Drano will receive mostly local fish.

Very interesting. Will someone go up there and fish to see whether these reports that the fishing is slow is true or not. It's killing me!!!
