Quote:One good thing about having a T in Idaho, is that we'd then have an "extra" here in WA. But getting a permit for out of state, and all those temporary licenses would be $$$ and a hassle. Somebody who goes over should do the research on those issues, plus camping, motels, launching, etc., and give the info to the Board.
I'll give you a tip...I went and did all the research and brought it to the club, recommending that we have a T at Chelan. It took three or four years to actually accomplish that, because of all the jackasses that didn't want to go anyplace new. I still haven't gotten you to have a T on the Columbia out of Brewster/Bridgeport.
But go ahead and give it a go. You'll soon give up, and wash your hands of it, like I did. But C&R, anyway, Steve
The Columbia around Brewster/ Bridgeport is flat out awesome for pig smallmouth. I grew up there and the fishing is awesome. The nice thing about that stretch of river is there are literally a thousand spots to fish on the main river, and then you can go up the Okanagon and catch a ton of smallies too. That place is awesome
The Pend Oreille River is another fantastic fishery. It does take a huge bag in the spring there to even contend. A bonus is it is also a great pike fishery so it is a real good place to take a family or just fun fish because of the quantity of fish in the system.
