Eric,
Let's get out thar and do this thing. I'm sure Brian will come down from Seattle. While driving up the Columbia I've wondered about wading some of the areas off the points. Let me know how your schedule looks or give me a call, I could get out a couple evenings?
How deep are you fishing? I'd love to try them on the 7136 although the tip sounds like the limiting factor.
