The Gorge is a great place for bows. My absolute favorite for them, and yes there are some real big ones in there. I tell you what, when the water temperatures are cooler like around now through May it seems (in my opinion) to be the best time for them.
My favorite technique for them is to troll with worm harnesses and small trolls in front of the worm harness. I like to put either a small dead minnow on the end of the harness, or nice nightcrawler or crayfish. I tell you what when the larger bows hit them they go nuts. I can't tell you how much I love this. [fishin]
Also, you can get them with tube jigs darker green/red/brownish color (that resemble crayfish colors). If you fish from a boat you can gently drop/drag the jig on the bottow or just cast out as far as you can and let it sink and retrieve.
There are lots of bows in the Gorge that are 26 inches +. [fishin]
