So my friends brother has a baseball tournament next weekend in the tri cities. Right close to the columbia river. My friend invited me to tag along and while his brother is playing ball me an him can go fishing. I havent fished the columbia since 2007 when i was about 8 years old. I dont remember where i was fishing lol. I can understand the regs and everything , i was reading them but the columbia is so big I dont know which part of the regs i need to be reading. So im hoping someone on here can tell me what part of the columbia is by the tri cities. To make it more clear examples are ; 'from I-5 to bonneville damn' or 'from hwy 395 bridge at pasco to old hansford townsite powerline towers" ... which area should i be looking for ?
I hope my question was clear enough, thanks in advance !

I believe its McNary dam to 395 bridge, then 395 bridge to wooden powerlines is all you need to worry about
