  • FISH ON! Early Spring Chinook Fishing at Drano Lake Was an absolute BLAST! We started down the river a ways at Wind River and litrally got blown off the water. We went up the road to Drano lake and got there about 11:00 AM AT 3 PM We got hooked into my 1st Spring Chinook of the year! What an amazing day.

      I was guiding from 1978 to when covid came that wrecked my work for the travel bans and all of the BS that came with covid.
      Then my 87-year mothers' dementia has advanced making going back to work guiding even more of a problem for caring for her so leaving for long periods of time isn't possible now.
      I am wanting to start a fishing school to teach how to fish Salmon & Steelhead & Pike Minos to make money on the Pike Mino program.
      For the Columbia R I am using a 19-foot Dory I finished in spring 2023.
      I own a 30-foot jet boat but the fuel cost to run it makes using it impossible, so the dory was built to run a 40 hp outboard that breaths gas fumes.
      If anyone is new to this kind of fishing, then needs fishing lessons on how to do and where to go at times of the year messages me then we can go to privet email.
      I also have an Instagram account I can be contacted on @ dwayneb1959 There are photos here also.
      I do Washington streams and above Oregon city falls fishing on the Willamette like from Canby with the confluence of the Molalla R and Newburg where fishing is done around the Yamhill R and spots above to intercept fish heading for upper Willamette R streams and hatcheries.
      You can learn summer steelhead fishing the Columbia in addition to salmon fishing Colombia.
      Watch UA-camrs Video's called fishing the Odds for summer steelhead fishing the Columbia R so you can learn where this spot is just above the town of Cathlamet Washington leaving point for this fishing is West Port Ore.
      You can learn about the fishing the lower Klickitat.
      I will offer fishing lessons on the Cowlitz - N fork Lewis.

    Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing.
    It’s confusing about whether you can fish with two rods with an endorsement at the mouth of the Wind. The WDFW app says two rods are prohibited, but the special regs for the mouth of the Wind say it’s permitted. The Emergency Rule in effect for the mouth of the Wind doesn’t say anything about whether you can or can’t fish with two rods. I called the Emergency Rule Hotline for SW WA and the recording doesn’t say you can’t fish with two rods. BTW the WDFW app says you now can fish fish with two rods at Drano. Anybody have anymore insights on fishing with two rods at the mouth of the Wind?

    • @walkingonwaterfishing
      @walkingonwaterfishing  3 місяці тому

      You can fish with two rods at the wind the wdfw app is reading incorrect I called them and they confirmed that when they dropped the keep limit down it messed with the app! The handbook says two rods and thats what they are going off of. For Drano you can not fish with two rods until may 1st

    Not a fan of your video approach with the corny hotel content and the upbeat, enthusiastic camera talking the whole time, and constantly saying "GUYS!" like we're all your subscribers and here on purpose. Clicked on your video to see if any fish were being caught at Drano yet, but honestly it was hard to watch.
    For someone that I have so much in common with (on paper), I don't really understand what you're doing - the attention craving style of this video was pretty cringe. It's not high production to copy other corny youtube tactics. If you want to film your fishing trip and show what you're using, cool. Doesn't need background music or hotel shots or commentary. Maybe chill with the youtuber persona and you'll spend less time "editing" and more time with those 5 kids you mentioned.

      @@walkingonwaterfishing There will be salmon in the Klickitat now in small numbers.
      With the small boat you have you can make it into the lower gorge to fish Salmon for the Klickitat and salmon & Steelhead that pull into the gorge for cooler water and hang out.
      one of the best ways to get clients fish after the day progressed to bright light was to go into the gorge to troll plugs and plugs you think aren't liked by salmon or steelhead such as the Speed trap for bass by Lure Jensen .
      just above the first down shoot in the river is a fish staging hole right up against the tall rock wall.
      Often turn off the boat motor then float through it and watch the fish scatter!
      Your boat would make it up the run and be able to fish this run and the next one which also is a holed spot.
      Around another 200 yards the river turns into a narrow rock walled channel you can back troll in or anchored fishing, I catch many fish here by anchored in the center then use my own spinners or plugs.
      This before the big flood that changed the river here was the natives dip net site that no longer is used.
      At the top of the lower gorge is a very deep hole on a Horseshoe bend that is fished well with bobber and bait.
      before this is a rock outcropping the fish gang up at and it is a bobber - bait spot by you got to know it's there because looking at it you wouldn't guess it hold fish.
      Trolling through there also catches fish.
      In the gorge here the Coho pile up by the 1000x ! and like to take trolled plugs.
      I have caught Coho here with a small plastic tag in the dorsal with the Idaho name and a number on the tag.
      The fall Chinook is just the same and more salmon than spring.
      If you want to have a place to fish to yourself with the boat this is the place.
