Yes, that's what I usually use for chinook holes. I think I'd need like a 5 oz to fish this well... if I can find a heavy duty enough side planer I think it could work, but worried about the diver pulling it under.

Has anyone ever/ would it be possible to run a jet diver from the bank under a side planer? I have a salmon hole I want to hit from the bank, but can't find a bobber heavy enough to fish it well with eggs, and too snaggy for me to plunk it... maybe back bounce from the bank with one of the cages...

I haven't heard anything yet. Have you tried it?

They are all through the willamette now haven't heard of much on mckenzie

A few have been caught in the area! Gonna give it a couple more weeks but they're starting to show up. Quite a few steelhead around now too. Haven't been getting out there much though yet

I've seen them caught at the dam on lures! But not often. And I caught one myself a few years ago, a very small one near elijah bristow

Went today for about 45 minutes, about as dead as it gets out there didn't see any action at all. Went down to the waterfall where it spills into river and didn't see fish there either! Definitely not stocked yet.

Yes that's exactly where they stock it! I fish that area all the time! We have definitely seen each other at some point just not realized it lol

Oh, I see! The duck pond where it spills into the river? I like that spot too! By main canal, I meant on the opposite side of the bridge you drive over to get to the parking lot, over more behind the car dealerships. The north side of the bank has a trail with some decent spots, and the south...

I miss when it was always done Thursdays but I am glad they have switched it up a bit! They did it only Mondays for a while too! This is exactly why I'm trying to get into more salmon and steelhead instead of just chasing the truck, I am too content doing that and need to get into some other...

Yeah I watch this very closely and catch a ton of them at Alton, I don't think I've ever been skunked there a single time. Was just curious if it had been done yet yesterday!

Thanks for sharing, great info!! I was just fishing down below the dam at dexter yesterday, spring Chinook are my all time favorite fish to catch I just need to start chasing them more! That oregonlife guy on YouTube, PK yi I think is his name is awesome!!! Have caught thousands of trout the...

The main canal area? I think that spot is the best! Even if no fish Alton baker is always a nice day!

Was this stocked today? I know they've done it earlier in the week the past few times, I miss the old weekly Thursday stockings!

Might have to try it out and do some C&R, always fun to reel them in out there. Thanks!
