@@Zak_zookie Lets go! I will!

Thanks mom! ❤️

Thank you!!

Hey brother, thank you so much! So much more to come. Its never to late to enjoy the amazing world of fishing best thing that has ever happened to me!

I was guiding from 1978 to when covid came that wrecked my work for the travel bans and all of the BS that came with covid. Then my 87-year mothers' dementia has advanced making going back to work guiding even more of a problem for caring for her so leaving for long periods of time isn't possible now. I am wanting to start a fishing school to teach how to fish Salmon & Steelhead & Pike Minos to make money on the Pike Mino program. For the Columbia R I am using a 19-foot Dory I finished in spring 2023. I own a 30-foot jet boat but the fuel cost to run it makes using it impossible, so the dory was built to run a 40 hp outboard that breaths gas fumes. If anyone is new to this kind of fishing, then needs fishing lessons on how to do and where to go at times of the year messages me then we can go to privet email. I also have an Instagram account I can be contacted on @ dwayneb1959 There are photos here also. I do Washington streams and above Oregon city falls fishing on the Willamette like from Canby with the confluence of the Molalla R and Newburg where fishing is done around the Yamhill R and spots above to intercept fish heading for upper Willamette R streams and hatcheries. You can learn summer steelhead fishing the Columbia in addition to salmon fishing Colombia. Watch RU-vidrs Video's called fishing the Odds for summer steelhead fishing the Columbia R so you can learn where this spot is just above the town of Cathlamet Washington leaving point for this fishing is West Port Ore. You can learn about the fishing the lower Klickitat. I will offer fishing lessons on the Cowlitz - N fork Lewis. Need help just ask !

I will be there this year for spring and fall! I’m super pumped to get after some fish

@@walkingonwaterfishing you will do well!

You are not kidding at one point I thought I was gunna be swimming hahha

@@walkingonwaterfishing i used to live in Oregon so that wind is unreal. I travel that way quite a bit to visit family and every time i see boats out there with like 1 foot white caps i am like NOOOOPPEE!!

Thank you so much!

Thanks man!

Thanks a ton brother!

Thank you so much brother! God bless, We will pass eachother on the water for sure and good luck with the channel!

Hahahaha good for you man 😂😂😂

Imagine commenting something negative (& offensive) on someone’s positive fishing video. Find something better to do with your time.

This log was out to get me Bro 😂😂

Big facts!

Hey thank you so much! I will brother!

Thank you brother, we need to go jam fishing

@@walkingonwaterfishing absolutely, soon too. 👍

Lake CDA is So Brutal brotha, I fished 8 days this year and nothing! hoping as we get deeper into may it will get better!

Lets goo haha Thank you!

So true brother!

This was this week Brotha! 18th and I got one one the 19th

@@walkingonwaterfishing love it!!

You can fish with two rods at the wind the wdfw app is reading incorrect I called them and they confirmed that when they dropped the keep limit down it messed with the app! The handbook says two rods and thats what they are going off of. For Drano you can not fish with two rods until may 1st

Thank you so much brother!

WDFW Need to get there shit together hahah

You’re right about DFWF - they’ve created confusion at Drano too - the app says you can now fish with two poles, but the special rules say you can’t until May 1!

@@kenmarble3390 They need to cordinate the app with the book hahah sheesh!

Close by 100%

I started at wind River lol

I only fished one at drano 😂

20 min

Jk posting now!

I will do so!

At fishermen's these vests are $165 with one that automatically inflates when touching water and the other has a pull cord. I did buy one that pops when touching water.

If money's tight grab an onyx when fisherman's has them on sale, usually 79-89 on sale. Pull cord only I believe.

@@colingreupner4392 I will have to do so! Ill be looking for the Onyx!

@@dalebenson6859 Thats extremely smart so you hit the water and it auto deploys?

hahahahhahaha

Considering most men work long hour jobs, I think a couple hours editing a week is pretty minuscule compared to the amount of time spent with his kids. He served this country for people like you and me, and earned the right to spend his time doing what he loves. Based on your comment, you sir may need to do some soul searching and find YOUR happiness because you’re clearly unhappy. Don’t like the video? Don’t subscribe, but don’t subject people to your negativity and hate. God is good, we’ll pray for you :)

@@walkingonwaterfishing laughing at the idea of copying the youtube garbage that you think will feed the algorithm and calling it "being authentic." Also, you can't be both Christian and postmodern, as those two belief systems are pretty opposed. But sure, you do you, as you said.

@@joelchristopher190 god knows my heart! Have a good life bud!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I used two rods at the wind river than 1 at drano read the laws! There are 1000 Drano lake videos on RU-vid

Someone clearly didn’t watch the video 🙄

Washington Fish and Wildlife app says 2 Poles are “not allowed” at the Wind. The app says it is allowed for inside Draino. I’m from Oregon, but typically WA and OR have the same rules for the Columbia. I don’t know of anywhere on the Columbia where you can fish two rods. But I’m willing to be educated to the contrary.

@@WilsonRiverPhoto look at the actual regulations your app has bad info! Grab the book go to wind River and it says two rods between march 16th and June 1st. 2023-2024

@@WilsonRiverPhoto Drano is 1 Rod until May 1st

That is freakin awesome, I would love to hit some of the lower Tribs for salmon! What time of year do they usually drop into the river?

@@walkingonwaterfishing There will be salmon in the Klickitat now in small numbers. With the small boat you have you can make it into the lower gorge to fish Salmon for the Klickitat and salmon & Steelhead that pull into the gorge for cooler water and hang out. one of the best ways to get clients fish after the day progressed to bright light was to go into the gorge to troll plugs and plugs you think aren't liked by salmon or steelhead such as the Speed trap for bass by Lure Jensen . just above the first down shoot in the river is a fish staging hole right up against the tall rock wall. Often turn off the boat motor then float through it and watch the fish scatter! Your boat would make it up the run and be able to fish this run and the next one which also is a holed spot. Around another 200 yards the river turns into a narrow rock walled channel you can back troll in or anchored fishing, I catch many fish here by anchored in the center then use my own spinners or plugs. This before the big flood that changed the river here was the natives dip net site that no longer is used. At the top of the lower gorge is a very deep hole on a Horseshoe bend that is fished well with bobber and bait. before this is a rock outcropping the fish gang up at and it is a bobber - bait spot by you got to know it's there because looking at it you wouldn't guess it hold fish. Trolling through there also catches fish. In the gorge here the Coho pile up by the 1000x ! and like to take trolled plugs. I have caught Coho here with a small plastic tag in the dorsal with the Idaho name and a number on the tag. The fall Chinook is just the same and more salmon than spring. If you want to have a place to fish to yourself with the boat this is the place.

@@walkingonwaterfishing Keep in mind the lower Klickitat in late June and to August is loaded with Idaho Steelhead in the spots I wrote to you about.

@@walkingonwaterfishing You can right now do well by launching at the boat ramp below the Deschutes in the park then in the Columbia and troll the water of the Deschutes all the way to the I-85 bridge. The mouth of the John Day will produce salmon also trolling but more fish are needed for this time of the year. above the John Day R is a Hwy turn off with an unimproved boat launch like 1/4 mile you pass under the railroad bridge to reach the Columbia R with boat
