"How-To" | Plunking For Lower Columbia River Sockeye Salmon

Sockeye salmon migrate through the lower Columbia River during June and July with normal peak passage at Bonneville Dam around July 1. The Wenatchee stock generally migrates earlier than the Okanogan stock although the run timing of both stocks overlap. Sockeye counts at Ice Harbor Dam (on the Snake River) and Priest Rapids Dam (on the upper Columbia River) both extend from early June through mid-July, which suggests that the run timing of the Snake River component is similar to the upper Columbia sockeye.

Columbia River sockeye return as age-3, age-4, and age-5 fish. Fish returning to Osoyoos Lake in the Okanogan Basin are typically Age-3 and Age-4 fish. Those returning to Lake Wenatchee in the Wenatchee Basin are typically Age-4 and Age-5 fish. Spawning occurs in September and October. Juveniles normally rear in a freshwater nursery lake for at least one full year before migrating to the ocean.

In this video we demonstrate how to rig and target these fish in the Lower Columbia River.
