A Day Not Fishing in the Columbia River is a Day Wasted

A few fishy thoughts from the Team at http://www.travelthegorge.com/

Fishy can be a good thing!  Fish smell fishy. The gear from your last fishing trip smells fishy and reminds you that it's time to get back out there...and now's the time.  The spring Chinook salmon run is underway in the Columbia River, in what may prove to be record numbers.  The "Springers" are considered some of the best eating fish found in North America and are known as good fighters on the hook. 

One of the Team's best spring fishing experiences was with Glenn Summers of RiversbendOutfitters in The Dalles, Oregon.  Glenn has been around for about forever, and knows every angle - pun intended - about fishing in The Gorge.  He's wonderful with first-timers - even made the Team's klutz feel like a fisherman - and he's a great storyteller.  Glenn's equipment is meticulously cared for and he has a real gift for combining adventure with safety. 

The fishing season in The Gorge lasts into the winter, depending on your fish of choice, and it would be wise to book your outing now.  Glenn is highly thought of and books up fast.
