lower klickitat river report.

Well I grabbed a day license for Washington as a backup if the big c didn't produce today.well I ran into a few other guys today out there,im guessing Jammer and not sure who else. I hooked up one good time and got it netted.had 2 more swing and misses.

Then I decided to go up the klickitat for my first time.to make a long story short there is a guy in a jet sled that after i caught one in front of him he kept trying to nudge me out of the hole 3 times and all 3 times I hooked up next to him and he got skunked,mad,and left.I ended the day with a limit of 6 coho. largest was 29 ¼. 5 hens and a buck.

Well done! I think that fishery will persist into December easily. That's amazing. In most years I can transition from salmon to winter steelhead with missing out on either. That isn't true this year.

Nice haul!!  How did those hens cut? 

2 are going in the smoker,still good color just a little soft.the other 3 are just fine.

Awesome haul man! 

I thought about doing that this weekend.  Now I wish I would have!

Stress testing your game clip?  Makes it easy to fill the smoker fishing there.  That's a lot of meat.

Where there many boats out front?  How about inside other than the jet tool?

You should have! still quite a few fish caught outside as well.

I had a pile of meat and eggs.it was a heavy load for that clip lol. I would say 10+ outside and that many inside.when I finally went inside there was only 4-5 boats left.

Great report YT. We also did very well taggin two still bright Coho each in the mouth. We both had family in town so left early. Nice job out there. Great job holding your ground too on the hole inside. People get weird sometimes when they see us out fishing them from kayaks. Were you twitching jigs inside the Klick?

Yaktastic, great haul.  What's the fishing like up in the Klickitat?  is it bobber and eggs, spinners?  Any coaching for the jealous rest of us?

Great job, Yaktastic! I was thinking about heading out this week (we have it off for Thanksgiving), but my freezer's already full of salmon. Now, if I could only pull some bacon and Prime Rib steaks out of the river...

Everyone else was good to be around except that guy.I was wondering how you ended up doing.no i didnt twitch jigs at all didnt have to! I was concerned my river rig,flasher and prawn spinner would spook fish but in the first hole I came to I dropped it down and hooked up!

Cosmo its easy to fish except for that it is not super wide.I was fishing right next to the cliffs. It is mostly sandy bottom with holes for bobbers or spinners on dropper or twitching jigs.the water is slow moving.you can fish anyway you want even flat line plugs.

That's awesome! I'm so jealous! Way to make use of your time on the water and bring home a huge limit. I've got to get out this weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
