Title: Skamania Island is almost gone... And Robo-Son got his first.
Post by: cohoho on April 29, 2012, 11:36:37 PM: Wow, went up yesterday to start the OS season off. Looking for my normal landmarks, oh where is it? It is gone, a few small bushes/trees at the upper edge is all that is left. That was a pretty fair sized island with decent sized trees on it, washed away and underwater... :yike: Be careful on the down side of the island as surely there will be some serious snags and dead falls just under water... Fishing was bad, just a few shakers, but Robo-Son got his first, no more Sturgeon Virgin..... He was a happy kid for sure. I will state- never seen a 8 year old hang all day without complaint, 10 hrs of fishing/boredom and he hung like a champ... That was after travel half the night from PA to Washougal too..... Surely Robodad will post that cheesy smile of Robo-Son.... Good time, just no OS or OS take downs... Water level 28 foot. I will not return till it goes back to atleast 20-21, might be awhile this year. Last year think it went all the way to 33..

I am always amazed at the changes I see on rivers.

We ended up in Longview for the weekend. Launched on the Oregon side and fished the backwater sloughs. Caught a few undersized fish, it was a fun day. I hope to get out there with you when the OS fish are in and the water level is right.
