Now that the long weekend is behind me I am going to try to focus at least some of my time on salmon fishing. I had a good opening day with Shane Magnuson below Wanapum Dam, but haven’t been out since. I wasn’t in too much of a hurry, given the dam counts at the time, but things have changed. Summer-run counts are way up in our region and now’s the time to really get after them. While was waiting for the fish counts to improve, I made a trip down to Moses Lake. I hadn’t fished walleye there since late April and was eager to give it a try. I was joined by Dennis Beich, Region 2 Director of the WDFW and his friend Joe Wisniewski, a researcher with the department. We met at in Moses Lake and put the boat in the water and were fishing about two in the afternoon. We started west of Connelly Park and got a couple of 19-inch fish pretty quick and then headed north. We found a good spot around the corner and caught another 19-incher, a 22 and a 24. The spinners I picked up at Mike’s Bait and Tackle worked pretty good!
