Way to make an effort and at least you have one to show for it. That can be a ship show down there on a day it’s not windy with all those crazy currents tangling lines Not to mention the day with a red flag warning winds. I always loved the big cement blocks they have for your boat to bang into if you’re not quick on to the trailer with all the waves and wake crashing. Definitely no launching by yourself there

Is this below Wanapum dam, or the pool above?

Below it I believe from the pictures and description. Upper side would be a lot calmer but nobody ever seems to fish it even if that stretch is open. I guess cause the fish aren’t stacked up like below it?

Thanks. Anybody anchor fish some distance below? Buckshot is an easy run up.

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
