Haven't fished there in many years but we used to spend alot of time on that wall, even before they built the walkway. Great fishing, although unusual.  In 1987 they built the walkway and we had some of the best steelhead fishing you could imagine. Good memories. Guess it's time to fix it. Some retro shots of me and my buddy.

Thanks Trapper.  40 years goes by fast.

I don't suppose they ever reopened the east side (Leto Island). We used to fish there quite a bit on that side too.

 In the 70s early 80s went over and hit the fall brown trout run , omg on a good day you could land 20-40 ,

the best is when they stocked a different strain of lake trout and the lakrs came in to spawn lol  anything orange was a hook up  and they actually fought in the river
