[QUOTE="Allen, post: 125774, member: 389"] I was up there last week, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Wednesday I fished along the face of the dam from shore and both bays to the east and west as the rain came and gone. Had several follows and one really nice salmon hit my lure about 15 feet from shore. That one jumped out of the water with my spoon sideways in its mouth and the hooks hanging out the far side only to have it spit the damn thing up on the rocks. Saturday, I took my GF and her two boys and fished the bay by the emergency spillway. You could see salmon hitting the surface all damn afternoon, but I could only see a couple that followed my lure into the shallows, without hitting it. We were there for almost 5 hours and only saw one fish caught, and the same fella had one from earlier in the day. Sunday, I took the boat and we pulled cranks, tossed spoons, mepps spinners, and the friggin tacklebox at them. Not a damn thing, again didn't see much else caught but one boat late in the evening caught two in about 10 minutes pulling cranks. Also saw a guy at the Govt bay boat ramp catch a good one tossing a spoon. Salmon fishing from shore has been really hit or miss this year! I am blaming inconsistent weather, my own ineptitude, and just bad damn luck (we were using the same stuff as those few who caught fish were using). I'm sure someone else was spanking them, it just wasn't us or anyone else that we talked to. They are definitely present in the shallows now, just not as easy to catch as one may hope. [/QUOTE]
