MasterCaster,

You are correct (and pardon me for saying so, but so was I). What you're saying does not disagree with what FNF said.

I think the key here is whether you're fishing from a boat or from shore. As long as you're in a boat, you can fish the whole river with a license from either state. The "whole river" of course doesn't include tribs, sloughs or other non-mainstem areas. And where you launch is irrelevant.

OK, I'm off to the wet side for the weekend. When I get back, I want a full report of all fish caught around the Tri-Cities.
