The only open part of the Bonneville Pool is from the Dalles dam down to the Powerline, about 6 miles I believe. Drano and the mouth of the Wind will still open, but technically aren't considered part of the Bonneville pool. That is why they have to bouy line marking the outside boundary at the Wind, and of course Drano is considered a "lake", not part of the pool. My guess is that you will hear when Drano and the Wind mouth open shortly after the first 'North of Falcon' meeting that is today, I believe.

The only people allowed to fish the rest of the Bonnie pool are....you guessed it... the tribes. The last two years you could see them just wacking the springers outside the bouy line at the Wind. At least they were fishing rod/reel, which means I'm all for it!!
