Re: Columbia River at Hood River

I believe it is called Lake Celilo but may be wrong. I've never fished it that early in the year, but the numbers are extremely high there. FishnMap has a pretty good map of the area that they label Columbia River Upper, it covers both this pool and the Umitilla pool. https://www.fishnmap.com/item.p...

Re: Flouro Recommendations

I use the Seagur AbrazX for everything that i use FC for. I also tried the InvisX and had some weird break offs. The AbrazX has worked flawlessly for me and I use it from 6lb to 20lb.

Also if you search the internet there are still quite a few outfits with bulk spools of the Carbon Pro.
