hooknose your right about the people sleeping
in their holes but their mostly the people who are camping at the boat launch.what I've seen is that most of the fish are caught at dawn or before,and around dusk. we get there about 4:00 am to launch we have no trouble finding a good spot.There are a few places you could pull plugs or bait,but Ive had my best luck when I've thrown the hook in deep water and pitched bait.And as for the Wenatche I don't think you can fish any where below the mouth of the Icicle,but I may be wrong.A friend of mine from over there expects this to be a good year,we'll see!! good luck I'll probly see you there.
