I will be staying at Skamania Lodge the first week of June for a meeting. I was going to bring my rod and give the Wind a go early in the morning. Sounds like it might not be worth it. I have never fished the Wind itself, just on the Columbia in the area at the mouth of the river. I will have to hunt around to find the access but it sounds like the smell of rotting fish guts and poachers will lead me there.
