Pool 4 Conditions?

I am headed to Pool 4 this weekend and was wondering what the conditions are like down there? I haven’t been down for close to a month or so now, so I’m assuming the water has some color to it now and the flow is up a bit making for a stronger day bite? Any info would be a huge help.

Also, are Bay Point or Colville accesses open yet?

Your assumptions are all correct. Bay Point was still iced in Sunday, didn’t make it down to Colville but I would assume it is also.

Thanks for the reply! Is there a bunch of debris floating down the river right now?

I went out of Everts yesterday, water is nice a dirty, flow is up as well in the main channel, I didn’t see too much for debris.

Colville landing is open. Used it on Sunday.

How is the day bite?

I appreciate all the feed back.

Our boat hasn’t had the numbers but they have been nice when hooked up. We don’t fish anywhere close to the dam. Red Wing is the furthest north we go. going to be on the water tomorrow and friday all day so hopefully we can get some big girls to chomp the baits.

water temps lately??

Thanks BK!
36 degrees is the key…Best technique is a very old one : Hint…I don’t use minnows with these… Finesse, finesse, finesse…
