Must be a few fish around, we drove through Brewster late Friday night and boats lined the streets, the hotel was packed. Came back through Saturday morning and the river was full of boats just below where the OK flows into the Columbia. Looked like a great day to be on the water for sure. Good luck to all who are out there  :tup:.

Lots of boats out there!!! Looked like it was the tournament. We put 4 in the boat. No pics, hours of truck problems! :bash: Good thing we met a few nice people to help us out and give rides back and forth to the parts store. :tup:

Not a lot of tent camping around there, but I imagine there will be space available for sure this weekend with the derby.  Even if they have to put you on the soccer field, I'm sure they will find a way to accomodate everybody. :twocents:

Just got back and again the fishin was good for some and not so good for others ...Seems a few old timers had it down and they caught sockeye and kings .. We caught 2 fish today and it was slow .... Some boats had more than others.... I guess I was a week or two to late but it was fun and got to try something different ..I am a skagit Bank fishermen and need some more time on the Columbia  :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: I hate being out fished and I have been everytime I have been to this place  :bash: The few fish I caught both times where as soon as we put in then it went to sheet after that and we have been out at the crack of light both times ...... :dunno:
