I recently posted a video about Brandts Landing, a very popular area for anglers who want to fish Rufus Woods Reservoir from the shore. This isn’t the only place that offers good shore access to the reservoir. The Debris Basin Recreation Area is just above Chief Joseph Dam and offers two places to fish from shore. When I visited this spot the other day, there were anglers fishing at both of them. Take a left off the highway just past Chief Joseph Dam when you see the sign to the Debris Basin. Then take the first left and follow the gravel road and you will arrive at a parking area with a restroom. There is a steep trail that leads to the shore, and there is plenty of room for anglers to set up to make their casts. If you go straight ahead after exiting the highway you will find a parking area at the base of a power line tower. There is a short trail that leads to the shore and a flat area where people make warming fires and even a place to rest your fishing rod. Both of these spots can be productive.
