There is going to be a lot of springers and a lot of boats. Backbounced eggs or prawns are going to do well, and so are K-14/15 Kwikfish in sliver with chartruse colors. I haven't been up there to try it yet this spring. I have a couple questions I'd really appreciate feedback on - perhaps to my e-mail if you are more comfortable with that ( reeltruth1@aol.com ). Does that Beacon Rock State Park open to the boat launch area there early or is it gated off until daybreak? If open, how early would I have to get there in line there to get launched well enough before dark and get a parking spot? And the same questions about the other Washington side ramp up toward the dam (near the power lines?). Is it well marked and how early for that one? Which is the best alternative of those 2? Thanks so much - this is likely the only opp for me up there this season. - Steve (RT)
