[QUOTE="ifish4iz, post: 206284, member: 787"] I've been there twice, lucked out on the weather front each time. Can get pretty wild with a west wind blowing against the current in that big of a river. Fished out of Umatilla both times, late February to early March. The old propeller jigs with stinger hook and night crawlers, believe it or not, at that time of year. Usually 25-40 foot drift stretches just off the main current seam, similar to our river fishing. I caught 6 over 11 lbs, up to just over 13, but no big ones. Each time, had boats next to us get 15's. Would like to go try snap jigging with raps or shiver minnows now, think that would be a hoot. For those thinking it's a good idea to haul your boats out this time of year through those passes, I would seriously think twice! I fished with local connections that moved out there years ago from good old ND. [/QUOTE]
