If any of you guys live around the Tri Cities and are in to bass fishing, my buddy and I floated the Yakima river from the Van Giesen bridge to Douportail and had a blast. They are loving the top water. If you need someone tho go with you, I would be more than willing. We have been going out after work. It takes about 2 hours and we do it in float tubes, pontoons (if we had the money for one), rubber rafts, or a 10-12ft aluminum boat(again if we had the money). Even if the bass slow down it is a great way to end the day. And maybe a chance to hook one of the salmon the run up the river in the fall.
