Pretty good on the Columbia right now. Fished three days last week with an old buddy that lives in Columbia City Oregon, his boat, launched at Goble. Fished K14's in 14-15 FOW in the Kalama area. Not fast but there are fish there. Not counting drivebys I had 7 on, landed 4, one was wild.... kept three hatchery fish, 12, 14 and 21. Barbless siwash K14's means a lot of drivebys don't stick and you will lose fish even if they stick. My buddy was 3 for 7, including one wild. Other boats about the same. Best to pick a day with a strong outgoing tide to work the gear, wobblers work too. For a Washington boat, launch at Kalama and just head downstream and look for the boats. Fish 12-20 FOW near the bank.
