    I ran up to the dam area of Pool 4 this weekend. I was blown away to see 4 truck/trailers sitting at Evert’s. I seem to remember that place being rather full this time last year despite many guys hunting instead of fishing. I recall Colville and Bay Point’s parking lots were rather full.

    To echo Randy’s comments. “Ghost Town Resort” indeed.

    people will still launch there, because that is their only choice. unless someone can get dean to hang out in the biffy at the public access on the weekends and keep the ramps open…

    just don’t buy any bait from him if he offers it…

    The parking there will only hold what percent of Evert’s capacity? But if there is a spot open when I go, I will be launching there too.

    I can’t believe four guys paid to launch there when there’s a free ramp a mile downriver!

    Maybe those 4 people read the post or heard where someone damaged their truck or trailer at those free parking areas and thought the fee of launch was enough to make feel there equipment was safe there

    I’ve wondered …. is the ramp at the south end of everts (right as you get down the hill)… a public one? It seems to be of different construction than the others. And a bit removed from the other ramps.

    That’s Strange? Because the Owner has reported a significant increase in Parking Revenue.

    Just a thought, as a percentage four rigs paying to launch is a huge increase over no rigs.

    Came from Rochester. I think our new member may have talked to the owner via phone. Just my guess.
