I am going to be down in that area this weekend and am thinking to try for kings from the bank if I have time. Probably hit that fish camp up near the hatchery creek. The last time I was out there we fished by boat and I saw bank anglers, some tossing spoons and a couple looked to be plunking.
I was thinking about bringing spoons but also was wondering about fishing eggs under a float. The reports are saying they have been having luck in +or- 15' of water which looks like it would be totally doable from the bank.
Anyone have any experience, advice for fishing for kings from the bank in that area?

I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

Take your boat! Also trolling under the I90 bridge at Vantage, nice choke point.

I have heard of guys fishing just below Wanapum Dam floating eggs and doing well. Never tried it but thinking of it this weekend.
