"The only bad thing about the whole outing was discourteous water skiers that roared by within 75 feet of where we were anchored. "
Thats the reason I hardly ever go there to fish anymore. I used to anchor by Chinook Island and had the same thing happen. Too bad because it is an awesome place. When I do go there I like to go way up the Crooked River Arm, not so many go faster folks there.
Looks like you have had some successful trips up there.
