there's great trout fishing in the deschutes...it's considered one of the best streams in western washington by some. you can catch dozens of nice cutts in a day on a little mepps or spoon

i'd be interested in a salmon hatchery upstream of the falls, since it would give us a shot at some decent kings before they turn dark(they keep them in a holding tank now). the only problem with this is that it would turn into a snagfest of unbelievable proportion if there were nice salmon coming up this little river. it's very low and clear in the fall...it would look like the quilcene. the other thing that concerns me is that the hatchery would be located right below pioneer park. some of my favorite water would most definitely be off limits to fishing if this happened.
