Good news for salmon anglers is that the summer-run fish are showing up in good numbers off the mouth of the Okanogan River, and they are in the mood for a fight! Jerrod Gibbons, of Upper Columbia Guide Services, nailed five in one morning recently. Trolling Super Baits off the mouth of the Columbia did the trick for him. Other anglers are tangling with summer-runs weighing into the lower 20-pound range, too. Once anglers have their fish in the boat the first stop is at the Triangle Shell in Brewster. They go to see Bob there and get their salmon weighed and photographed. Once this is done they are entered into the on-going derby and qualify for weekly prizes and for the final big prize for biggest fish. The up tick in the salmon bite is also good news for anglers who plan to fish in the Annual Budweiser-Lowrance King Salmon derby, sponsored by the Brewster Chamber of Commerce. Catch rates at this event are always exceptionally high, and it looks like there will be big numbers of salmon around at derby time, which is August 1st through the 3rd.
