Can anyone help me with murky high water fishing. My nephew is up and wants to hit the Walla Walla, Columbia, and snake at ice harbor...

Anyone have any suggestionns.?

The WallaWalla is coming back down so you might be ok. If there is a foot or two of visibility give it a try.

The Snake and Columbia may be a bit murky but shouldn't be a big deal. Do everything just like you would normally.

Walla Walla should be coming into shape now. If the visibility is poor (wade in to your knees--if your feet disappear, then the visibility is poor) focus on the edges of and tailouts of holes, rather than what you would otherwise consider the heart of the hole. Obviously, use bright colors and add bait or scent if you don't normally do so. Don't have much experience on the Snake and big C when the clarity is poor, but I would think that below the dams could be a good bet during these conditions. The dams collect both silt and debris, so the tailwater should be a tad clearer and free of driftwood etc...

I wouldn't expect the Snake or Columbia to be too bad right now-- bobber and shrimp should produce well right now either place. If you have a boat then McNary is producing both bobbering and trolling, especially trolling lighted plugs at night. The bad news is that it looks kind of nasty weather-wise for a few days.

Thanks guys, i went up to the fish ladder at milton freewater and the water did look a lot better then closer to the mouth when we were there night before. Water was moving on down the river the other evening .hee hee hee..

We didn't go this morning, Guess we should have. Maybe I can get out Sunday for a bit.

Oh forgot to tell you guys..the other night when the water was murky and real high..I did out fish my Nephew. I took the bobber of and put 2oz weght and a worm on. I caught a 4" bull head and my Nephw got a heck of a bite...I think his might have been a tree going down the river though..<BG>
