You guys are bumming me out. My parents lived in Lyle for two years when I was a freshman and sophomore in college. As a matter of fact, I don't know if it's still there, but my brother and I made the silver LYLE sign that used to be on the big hill above town. You could see it from the Oregon side of the Columbia.

Caught my first summer run steelie in the Klickitat about 20 years ago. Chrome as a car bumper. What a gas. Floated the Klickitat a few times, and loved fishing it. Hooked a summer run king in the gorge below the first bridge back in 1980. I was fishing with my Minnesota steelie gear, and the rod exploded in my hands. I giggled all the way home.

Don't be afraid to try those rubber lip sturgeon in the hole out in front of the river. Caught many nice ones there. Keep the Klick stories coming.
