Rufus Woods Fishing

4-5 hours...I'm guessin. Fishing is just starting to get good.  The next few months will be awesome down there.  Quick limits.

So from this side sounds like an overnighter,thanks

It is about 2 hours from Eburg to there. I made it there from Seattle in about 4 hours I think, but that was towing the sled.

if in a boat boon dogging works great, slow current to move you, little bit of weight and a whole night crawler with air in it or steelhead/salmon roe works awesome down there in the winter months. tip feed this fish line when you get a bite, dont set on first or hard strike, give them line

is there a motel around there..Im going to do it one of these days

[stout]

There are hotels in Grand Coulee (about 30 mins drive from the pens)

Also hotels in Omak (about 45 mins drive from the pens)

Listed a couple of sites with some hotels, just try Googleing the city/town names for hotels.

As for the Grand Coulee side, you can look for Hotels in Grand Coulee, Coulee Dam, and Electric City.  All three towns are within about 5 miles of eachother.

From the Omak side, you can look for Hotels in Okanogan(add about 5-10 minutes drive time to the pens)

If you wanted to boat there, you can Launch above Chief Joseph Dam (not sure how long it would take to boat to the pens) and stay in Bridgeport or Brewster.

I can't remember the name of it, but the one right next to the Casino, I would not suggest. The rooms are tiny and the people at the front desk aren't very pleasant. We had a room with two beds, and with three of us and our gear in there (didn't want to leave fishing gear out in the boat), we could barely walk around our room. The food at the casino isn't too bad, but I'm sure you could find much better food.

you dont have to be right next to the pens to do well fishing either! I tend to stay closer to the dam and fish on the "whiteman" side so i dont have to buy a reservation liscense.

Also we just got a brand new hotel in Omak it looks really nice....I have no clue what the name is though

[yelp]

There maybe some room in Nespelem...

Thats a great place to stay if your not native! awesome town lol

I don't think I'm brave enough stay in Nespelem. The guy who runs the little store is nice though. He's told me the same hunting story both times I have been in there.

Which store?? I do strongly advise all to stay away from the trading post a bit.....they dont welcome ppl who are not from around there very well....

jacksons The gas station is a good place to stop though

[Antlershed]

Jackson's is where I always stop.
