Good luck and let us know how the salmon goes, I really want to try that one of these days.

The fishing is incredible up there right now. 80-100 fish days are common. Most fish seem to be congregated between the pump house and 212 bridge(swift bird was very good last week.) Reef runners, shad raps, lead core, you know, it's Oahe.

Feel free to call me if you get stumped, which I don't think will happen. But I would be glad to help.

Good Luck, Last I heard most of the Salmon that were being caught were coming 40/50 down over 50/100 in front of the damn. I fished one evening last weekend and had one release. Sounds like about 1 out of 3 days have a good bite.

We did good out of Bush's for eyes, One day in the Cheyenne and one day at Deep. Bush's only had about 1/2 of the boats at the ramp compared to this time last year. I would say that partially the 4$ gas and the great bite upstream.

Good luck, catch lots of eyes for dinner!

Sorry i did not take any pics, to busy catching fish, lots of smaller fish.
Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed where several of the most calm days i have spent on Oahe. Most days there was hardly a breath of wind, that being said we still caught plenty of fish, 10-22 feet with bouncer and crawler. Almost all of the bigger fish came on cranks and lead in 20-22 fow, glass shads, and original 5's.

Wed morning after a slow start and no wind, we relocated to the Whitlocks area, went out at noon and caught nicer fish. Lots better bite there in my opinion.

Had a good crank pattern that yielded eight nice almost all overs in a couple of hours on Thurs afternoon. Pulled lead over trees, lots of marks,
easy going and no snags.

We were heading up to Swift Bird on Fri morning but turned out to be 60 mph wind advisory so opted to come home after a great week. No salmon fishing on this round. Maybe next time.
