Wow, I've never seen such a beautiful river that has almost no fish in it. This was one of my most disappointing fishing trips ever. I got to the river at 7:00 at the pool where I caught a big whitefi...

I read about these lakes in a recent post here and decided to check them out since I'm live in Yakima. Well, I wish I wouldn't have gone. It was a long, hellacious drive with really crappy dirt roads...
