What all tackle do I need for this trip?

Is everything available in local shops, just want to be properly prepared and not show up needing anything.

Weight .5 - 2 ounces, circle hook, swivel, line, rod, reel, worms to catch cut bait. That's about it. Whiskey. An empty stomach that will be filled with fat delicious food.

well the only store near there is the KOA store....I would go get a spool of leader and some hooks and assorted weights, bait fish are everywhere, I was catching them off the boat docks last year with flies, little bluegills.

some large circle hooks I love to use them,3/0 4/0 slip set up 1/2 oz on the Palouse and more in the snake...leave the hook showing,no need to hide it at all..WARNING,the dreaded somewhat bearded clams have been spotted before in the area,look away if one is spotted..It will make you wash your eyes out with acid,,well ok whiskey...92xj has been hunting these things,when relating the stories of rare sightings to him,he gets all rapt and edgy..I fear for him
