There are only three consistant holes in the river. Boats anchor up an hour before light bow to stern and at the stroke of legal fishing time everyone casts. I have not fished it for 15+ years but did well. It ususally gets good around the last week of may but who knows with run timing this year. the go to baits are herring or eggs. You can catch fish in some of the smaller holes especially with the massive snow melt this year. Any small boat including 8-12' lake boats will work just dont miss the take out on the wenatchee as tumwater canyon would even be a challenge in Stams pontoon.
