No they were mainly males and the females usually come in around mid June to the end of June. I really enjoy their eggs so good! Thank you for watching my man!

@jonp6347 Ай бұрын

Roll it on flour with any seasoning you want and fry till done be careful it might start popping. Use butter and cook nice and low

Nice, great location.👍

Thank you! This is one of the best locations to get bite after each cast 👍. Right by the dam

Wasn’t too bad on a weekday but too bad I have to work and can only go on the weekends when it’s packed of people 😢

Weekends aren’t too bad either depending on when you go

I was fishing in the same area early this morning. There was enough catching to keep things fun, but nothing like your day yesterday. Green seemed to be the color of choice. Im still trying to figure out the weights and the drift, I spent way too much time hung up. Either way, its still a great time!

@washingtonlife Ай бұрын

If you get snagged a lot it’s because your weight is too heavy or you’re letting it sink too far down and reeling in too slow. I tend to use half an ounce but it all depends on the movement of the water. If it’s moving too quickly I would use an ounce weight so it will help pull the dart down. If the current is pretty slow I always use half ounce. Yesterday I did not get stuck on any rocks and used the same dart all day. Hopefully this helps and glad to hear you had a good time today! Thank you for watching

@leroyskinner4206 Ай бұрын

@@washingtonlife thanks! I think it might be my count. I was using 3/8 oz or a 1/2 oz egg sinker and my retrieve was pretty similar to yours in the video. However, I was giving it a 10 count on average. I'll try shortening that up a bit the next time I go and see how that does. Thanks for the reply!

Will,you be doing a cooking video ? I’ve tried a couple different recipes but would love to see how you do it.

Yes I will be soon. Thank you for watching and I have older videos of how I cook them. Here’s a video that I sun dry them kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gq2bqtRpz9HLmaM.htmlsi=IXqnxYRLCNZw_4u4

Nice, do you think a Panther Martin or rooster tail will work?

@washingtonlife Ай бұрын

Yes but it has to be a size 0 or 1. Any bigger the chance of them biting is very slim

The day you were there over 72k over the dam. The run is in will go over 100K soon. I have caught them on the 4th of July if the run is between 15K and 10K on the 3rd. Three years out of the last four. Stay safe

@washingtonlife Ай бұрын

Thank you for watching and yes once it hits over 100k a day it should be really good fishing! 👍👍
