Marc April Meeting: Our speaker this month will be Tom Pollack, who will discuss Shrimping and crabbing
Marc April Outing: Rick Michaels, Ernie Anderson and John Dunkel tackled the 12-day Spring Chinook fishery in the Lower Columbia . Although the WDFW reported a fine fine season, the catches must have been in the Portland stretch, where the average wait at the lauches was reported at about 4-hours.
Our gr Our group concentrated about 60-miles downriver. Most days were uneventful, but they were not alone. The fish checkers spent most of their time checking
empty empty boats. Rick's boat went just 2 for 16-mandays, although they did add a landing net to their catch.
