FYI for all you samlon heads out there, this is straight from a biologist buddy who works on the Columbia around the Wind R. and Drano Lake area.
Sept 8, 2004: 29,000 Kings salmon 4,000 Coho (Silvers) and 3,800 Steelhead(incl. some nice "B-runners" headed to Idaho) passed through the fish ladders. Reports are the fish haven't been on the grab due to low water levels, but if they're there, some luck fisherman can catch a few.
