I have been doing a large video project for Okanogan County Tourism and have posted videos on 19 lakes in Okanogan County. I had one to go. I needed to complete the last assignment, which was “Rufus Woods Reservoir from Chief Joseph Dam to Grand Coulee Dam”. If you don’t know that’s 51 miles of river. I decided that the best way to do it would be by boat, and with my schedule it took me two trips. I did from Grand Coulee Dam down to the third net pens on the first trip and then did from Chief Joseph Dam to Lone Pine Island on the second one. Rufus Woods is hugely popular with anglers, primarily due to the releases of triploid rainbow trout into the reservoir. Each year the Colville Tribe puts between forty and fifty thousand of them into Rufus. They have a terrific growth rate and fish in the mid-teens aren’t a big deal and fish to around 20 pounds are caught every year. I point out the boat launches, shore fishing accesses and some of my favorite fishing spots in the video. I just posted it on the Dave Graybill YouTube channel.
