Hey Guy's,
Too answer both of you at once goes something like this:the orange building I think you are referring to is the old "ice house" just above the town of Klickitat.Great fishing hole straight out from the launch.Practically the whole river is floatable with a drift boat except the narrow chute at Fisher Hill Bridge a few miles up from the mouth.You WILL hit some rocks on the way down the river and I don't know how well your boat is made or if the bottom is coated,but I would think you could drift it and only incur some scrapes to the botom of your boat.Right now the river is probably just like chocolate milk with the hot weather we are having.We need a several days of low 90's to high 80's to clear the river up to fishable clarity.Some people can pull a fish out of a mud puddle, but I don't seem to have much luck unless there is at least a foot or so of visibility.August on the Klick is pretty iffy if you have to travel very far because she is a little tempramental about staying clear,but if she is the fishing can be great.Maybe someone on the Klickitat would volunteer to keep us updated on the river color or allow a few phone calls to see if it's worth the trip.Fish On,lester
