As some of you may remember I posted info about a possible tournament on the Columbia River in the Entiat pool.
I did get some good feed back but many were hesitent due to the lack of info about the waters and what it could produce. I did do a lot of research and found according to PUD & WDFW bios the fish are there in abunance and size but difficult to find. With that said, I did find that there was a lot of support, locally, for such an event. However, what I didn't know what it would cost me and associates to set up such a venue. Insurances, etc. was out of sight.
So, I approached the NW Bass circuit to consider having a future event at the Entiat pool. They are seriously looking at it. But, of course they are running into some unbelievers. Yet, the director has agreed to check out the waters to determine if viable and if so, we could see a tournament in the Entiat pool in next year or so.
Could be a good one. The PUD is sinking up 4 plus mil into the Entiat park and launch facilities this year. That would make for a great venue and launch point. Anyway, time will tell. If any of you guys know the waters and would like to see an event there, push on Gary Stiles, the director/manager of the NW Bass circuit.
Any info and input would certainly be welcomed. We seriously need some new locations and waters to hold tournaments. I think that is one thing we all can agree on.

Where/which is the 'Entiat pool'?
Is that sorta close to the town of Entiat? Sorta up north? I vagely can picture the town's whereabouts from the big fires there a few years ago.

Well I've heard that 'the reach' can be good, but lots of shallows and a boat needs a jet instead of a prop. Looks like Entiat pool is north of that area.
I'm allways down for change in tournament locations. It's a great way for organizations to promote growth. I know last year down on the Boardman pool for NWBASS, there was a lot of new faces, some of which we will hopefully see fish the circuit next year. My problem about the Entiat pool, is that like the Wanapum pool the fish are only in a handfull of places. So in essence it will play a lot like the Lake Washington tournament where people fish on top of each other all day. I would love to have a tournament on Chelan, but the same thing would happened there also. Who knows what will happened, but I'm sure if anyone will make the right decision it will be Gary Stiles.
Lighten up.......

You got something to say???
Is there a "reach" at Entiat?
If there is, I didn't know. If there isn't you're about 100 miles off.

Read the thread bob his comment wasn't directed to you at all.
It is a sweet looking piece of river. But Gary and Lisa and everyone that fishes NWB have a lot of money tied into it. A poor turnout hurts everyone especially the guys that kick our a** everytime. It doesn't look like the Wenatchee club fishes tourneys on it unless I'm mistaken. That concerns me since you would think the locals would be all over it if it was good tourney water.
