Bonneville Dam

I was hoping to go fishing today, but there is too much work to do. So, I opted to wait it out. The heat is on again here and next week is supposed to cool down a little. Probably better to wait anyway.

Last weekend, myself and the family went to Hood River to pick some apples.  On the way, we stopped at the Bonneville Dam to check out the fish through the viewing windows.  As I talked with the fish counter, we saw hordes of both steelhead and salmon come through.  Some were very big.  It made me want to fish real bad.  But, being with the family, it just wasn't going to happen.

The sign on the wall said that we are above the 10-year count for most species of fish.  Including steelhead.  Considering we still have a few months to go this year, that is a good sign.
