The Neah Bay Chinook quota was
here and gone before you knew it,
but not before Annika Miller caught
hers! She was fishing at Swiftsure
Bank with Chad Huffman in early
July. (YO-ZURI PHOTO CONTEST)Nathan and Deborah Sylvester caught their first
walleye way up in North Idaho, where bottom
bouncing on Lake Pend Oreille paid off on a mid-June
day. State fishery managers implanted 50 walleye
there with special tags that are worth $1,000 if
turned in for a study. (YO-ZURI PHOTO CONTEST)This year saw a new record shad run up the Columbia, with better than 7.4 million counted at Bonneville Dam at
press deadline. Renee Mortimer and her dad Paul got in on the action further upstream, running a silver Dick Nite
behind a Jet Diver until dam operators stopped spilling water over McNary, leading them to switch to walleye.

Hunter Higginbotham went over the pass from his Yakima-
area home to have a blast catching landlocked coho at
Western Washington’s Riffe Lake in early summer. “The gear
of choice was the 000 Fast Limit Dodger in the Glo/Pl color
tag teamed with a Tight Lines Kokanee Rig in glitter pink,
tipped with a salad shrimp colored up with Pro-Cure’s Badazz
Pink Dye and Bloody Tuna Oil. Speeds were from 1.2 to 1.5
mph and fish came between 40 to 80 feet,” reports his father,
Jarod, who gave a special hat tip to Bill Herzog for the inside
info. (YO-ZURI PHOTO CONTEST)
