Shad counts are building at Bonneville Dam and bank anglers average about 2.6 shad per trip last week, another sign the season is changing.
Walleye fishing improved notably last week in both The Dalles and John Day pools.
Quite a few summer steelhead were tallied in the sampling of salmon anglers downstream of Longview. Spring chinook catches are fading at most locations as the run wanes.
