Got a late morning start out of Umatilla. Tried around the bridge, heavy current, missed a couple bites on Jigs and crawlers and decided to head downstream to moderate water. Good choice as we netted 4 Walleye 18-22", 5 small bass 8-11" and a misled shad.
Spinner Rigs seemed to be the preferred method, alternating colored beads and nice long crawler with two hooks a must.

Was nice to find an area out of the wind.
Can't wait to get out again. By 5pm river flow was reduced as we headed in to the launch.
