I mentioned earlier that I was busy shooting videos of some of the lakes in northern Okanogan County. I got that part of the job done and am still finishing the editing. I should have that done in a day or so and will post the finished videos on the Dave Graybill YouTube channel. I just recently finished shooting three sections of the upper Columbia River. I started in Pateros and showed the shoreline and the two launches that many anglers use to run up to fish the Brewster Pool. The next one was on the area above the Highway 173 Bridge to the mouth of the Okanogan River. I talked about how the Okanogan plays an important role in the Brewster Pool fishery. It dumps warm water into the cooler Columbia that creates a “thermal barrier” that keeps the salmon in the Pool. That’s what makes the fishing here so fantastic. The last episode was done on the Columbia from Pelican Point to Chief Joseph Dam. This is another area that has some great fishing spots for both Chinook salmon and steelhead, when we have seasons. It is also open now for trout until August 15th with a limit of 10!
