Son Donald, his wife and I spent 4 nice days down in the Columbia Gorge enjoying the fantastic scenery, taking photos and checking out the fishing. We caught several nice smallmouth bass. My fish came mostly from the Klickitat portion of Umatilla Lake including Rock Creek which actually should have a name of it's own. It should be called "Rock Creek Lake." It is connected with Umatilla Lake by boat tunnel however so I guess it it is considered part of the reservoir. Best lures for me were lead head jigs and in line spinners. My brother and his wife came up from Oregon on Saturday to join in a nice fish fry.
