Nice chromer!

Nice!

Hopefully you had your steelhead card on you and filled out. DFG is usually out in force at the Port.

The port falls under section 26d.
Here is a good inactive map showing the locations.

You only need the Steelhead card if you are targeting them.  Incidental catches that are released are not illegal.

The concrete bed it was laying on made it look like it was going to get up an swim away anytime soon.

ya the farthest that fish swam was the oven. stuffed with pork sausage tomatos white and green onions and drinched in lemon garlic butter... and ya have my steely card all filled out...

I have a question .. I'm thinking about heading that way and giving this Port a shot ... where the heck do you park and launch ? A friend of mine wants to know if he can launch his 18 foot outboard in there ?

for small yaks and boats you can carry the place to park is off of jefferson. if your headed west on 50 get off on jefferson and turn left you'll go over the locks and the parking lot is on the right. you gotta walk your boat through a gait to get to the ramp. so no boats you can't carry and get through the gait. there is a boat launch, think it's called washington lake boat launch, but everything i here is you gotta sign on a least to launch and it's a long wait.

Fishes that have been caught at the POS.

Catfish
Sturgeon
Salmon
Striper
Bluegill
American Shad
Steelhead
