Paid a visit to Oxbow Park for a day on the Sandy. After a 40 minute drive, I arrived before sunup only a day or two beyond a pretty decent sized storm (SND03 - 5540cfs). Leaves and branches everywhere. It should of been a sign.
This was the first time fishing this section for me. I did a lot of exploring since the water was extremely colored. I could not see my boots if I stood in knee deep water, so catching fish was not likely. On top of that, I was hooking leaves or other debris on every cast. So even casting practice was a pain.
I stuck it out for a few hours before giving it up. That was enough time to do some exploring so I know where or better yet, where not to go next time.
On the way home, I fished the Washougal. This river is only a few minutes from home, so it is a nice little place that takes little effort. More on this river, since I have fished it a few times since my visit to the Sandy.
