Glad you made it down here to fish. We took a couple of chinook home today that we caught up near the Astoria bridge. The closure for non fin clipped fish goes into effect on Friday...today was the last day to keep high finners. Don't be keeping any tomorrow.

It looks like it's fin clipped to Rocky Point, from there to Bonneville they do not have to be. Am I reading that correct?

I saw two guys with kayaks a yellow one and a red, I was thinking might be bass.

You are right you can keep non fin clipped fish up river from bouy 44. I went up to Rice Island to check it out. The water temp was 70 degrees up there, no action at all and only a couple of othere boats. Its a bit early for that spot. Waco I saw those kayaks out there too. We were fishing the bouy 22 to Hammon strech.
