So for someday that's new to hoover fishing, on the topic of boat controll and line angles.., Why could I not just anchor up, that way my boat won't move, in effect keeping my lines straight up and down?? please explain why or not! THANK YOU!!
The biggest reason is your covering far more water looking for a biter. Also your floating more natural with the river. This seems to make the fish far more willing to bite. Also if you anchor in the middle of an area you have a bunch of boats hover fishing and trolling it can ruffle some feathers.
Those rods are awesome! Lol. Learned this technique 30+ years ago on the Rogue from Captain Bill Boresek. An over sized bobber makes it fun too….it jumps up out of the water when the fish grabs it…great show!
Usually 2-4 ounces depending on current and wind. The important thing is that you're fishing straight up and down. Use as little weight as necessary and controlling the boat with the motor is critical.
I miss Drano in the Fall... except for that WIND! Justin - I use a small tuft of yarn tied in the bait loop to grab onto to open it. Color, it's soft and holds scent.
21:57 the fish on the far right of this the photo is a native. My brother and dad caught an identical fish and threw it back because its an illegal fish ???? What am i missing?
According to the regulations, Drano Lake is not part of the Columbia so both clipped and unclipped fish may be kept. I know I said in the episode that Drano Lake is part of the Columbia but only in that the water comes mostly from the Columbia

Each and every body of water has its own regulations. Drano is separate from the Columbia. While the Columbia has joint regulations between Washington and Oregon, the waters separated by state lines have different regulations. There are several rivers in Washington that allow retention of unclipped fish.
Fish that spawn in tributaries of the lower Columbia. A smaller fish that starts turning darker quickly because they don’t have that far to go to spawn.
With salmon that’s doesn’t make a ton of sense as you could potentially be killing them anyways even with proper release especially using eggs which is why They limited and then left
I'm understanding with regulation that any anadromous fish with all its fins are supposed to be released since they are wild. I noticed your guide had kept a wild fish.

Yarn tied in the egg loop can assist in opening as well
I was just out today and that same little blue drift boat was anchored in the same spot. Nice video.

@@AnglerWestTV awesome makes perfect sense! Thank you so much!
We were just in there today for customer appreciation! We love you guys!
Drano is fun but the wind can be brutal

What size weight for hovering with bobbers? I'm heading to Drano next weekend

Nothing wrong with that.
I have found the yarn to be a good option as well with the thought of it sticking to the teeth giving a bit more time for hook set.
Nothing better than limiting out just in time for breakfast!! The bead trick in the bait loop is brilliant...thanks!!
Awesome! Have fished there a couple of times. Can't wait to get back!!
Those rods are NEVER going to break with all that egg goo on them! ROFL! Good stuff. True sign of a serious hover fisherman!

Outstanding ... and limited out BEFORE breakfast... hope that Steve sported the breakfast bill... 🙂🙂🙂
Got limits out of Drano Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday it was on fire
What month is the best? Early September?
@@sov19871987 yeah the first couple weeks of September
Hambly and Lynch are the GOATs
3/0 for fall fish seems small. Everyone on the coast uses 4/0 for low clear water. Big Dave runs 6/0!
Drano is always crazy great video
What were the rod and reel set up?
That first fish had a fin, how did they keep that? Are Washington regs different than Oregon?

what is a tule

Nice! Way to go guys 👍
I'm one of those fishermen that likes to release fish just so I can keep catching more fish.
With salmon that’s doesn’t make a ton of sense as you could potentially be killing them anyways even with proper release especially using eggs which is why They limited and then left
the limit is one?
Yes
What months is best to hover fish in Drano? We were out on the shore with bobbers this weekend, but would love to try this on the boat.
