Hanford Fall Chinook

Join us with guide Don Talbot as he demonstrates his unique techniques that get more and bigger fish in his boat. The Hanford Reach is the last free flowing stretch of the Columbia and it's beauty is rivaled only by it's great fall Chinook fishing.

Nice Mike! Thanks for the vid. Glad you didn't get your arms ripped off!! As you motor up from the launch, right at the power lines over the river, a young man lost his life trying to rescue some young boys earlier this summer. Sad deal. It is an awesome section of the river, though.

That's very sad to hear. The river can deceptively powerful.

Nice video and great fish Mike! Did you guys spend all your time trolling into the current or was some of it with the current?

Don had us going both ways and we caught both ways, but the majority of the trolling was with the current, and going faster than the current. We were passing other boats constantly.
