My friend and I trolled the Slag Pile to the Clay Bank several times with no success in the salmon department. Interestingly, a solo dolphin followed us several times. Then it would move off to another boat for a while. One boat with a family aboard had cameras filming while the dolphin leaped out of the water, dove and circled, then spy-hopped for them. This is the first time in over 50 years of fishing here that I saw something like this here.

A solo dolphin? Hanging with boats - not just trying to steal fish? Did anybody else notice this? Is this a multi-day event?

Thank you for any ideas,
RiverDog

The porpoise has been there all summer and is looking for a herring handout. It also plays with a small seal around your boat.

Thanks rtk. It was a pleasant change from being stalked by a hungry seal...as if there was anything on my line to stalk.

I've got some pretty cool video of (i'm pretty sure) that same white sided dolphin when I trolled Pt Defiance on Father's Day. Totally made our day as we didn't catch anything other than dogfish that day.
