Lakes or Ponds Near Columbia?

You guys are correct. I should have used another word other than pessimistic. I do appreciate all of the input and ideas on this site.

Thanks for the correction

The gorge plus islands and shelves near Troutdale and farther downriver near Kelley Point in Portland are good spots to try.

I live in the area. Look at my Maryland trip / photo reports. Most of my fishing is in Columbia or very nearby.
