Joe Hymer Fishing Quotations

Sturgeon don't mind it if the water is high and dirty, and it is probably the only thing to do fishing wise. I'd try in the smelt zone from Longview down, and in the Willamette plume because the water is warmer there than up towards Bonneville Dam.

There will be no changes to fishing seasons in the lower tributaries from last year. There will be in-season monitoring of the runs to make sure the seasons are as forecasted.

Fishing is still pretty decent down there. The last couple days it's been like a third to a half a fish per boat average. On some days it's up to a fish per boat average.
