OT: Salmon Vendors at the Bridge of the Gods

Last year I was buying fresh salmon from some fishmen at the bridge of the gods, on the OR side at the end of the season. When will they be back? I want to get some on my way to stevenson. I mean, I'll eventually start seeing them, but I was wondering if anyone knew when the season started. thanks

Isn't it illegal to buy fish from the Native Americans?

Is the lack of fishing why I've been seeing so much fish in the water this year? They're jumping up next to my board at least a few times a session usually.

Yea, man, after kiting here for 3 seasons now, I finally saw my first jumping fish yesterday. Scared the shinn out of me!

Dude, I don't wanna hear about people kiting during the week. As far as I know that doesn't happen Wink

. Good thing I'm still beat from the weekend.

Yeah, anything jumping out of the water can be freaky. At least it's the river though. When something pops out of the water at the coast I always hold my breath for a second before I realize it's not about to eat me.

Early season Rooster riding.... Has 6 sturgeon (four to six feet long) jump and roll right next to me. That will open your eyes! Had to keep telling myself sharks can't get up this far in the river.

As for the indians... I think they can catch and sell as part of their treaty. Usually in the parking lot on the Oregon side of bridge of gods. Just make sure its fresh and what you want.
