Lake Billy Chinook is off to a decent start for spring 22. The Metolius Arm opened almost 2 weeks ago and there are some reports of Bulls being caught, but the better fishing is in the Deschutes Arm. There you might see Bulls, Browns or Bow’s. Or Bass. It’s a curious place with good early season activity.
For the most part, you need a bigger boat with a motor, but there are some places near the Deschutes Ramp to access the water with a pontoon or drift boat but watch the wind and don’t venture far away from the ramp without a motor. That’s a big ass lake! Respect it.
Glad to see the OSP out checking boater safety and licenses this week.
