Wanapum pool drawdown leaves boat ramps high, dry

Wanapum pool drawdown leaves boat ramps high, dry
A sailboat owned by Bryan Stockdale, of Vantage, Wash., is left in the mud at the Vantage Riverstone Resort dock in Vantage on Monday, March 3, 2014, as up to 20 feet of water is let out of the Columbia River reservoir behind Wanapum Dam after a spillway pillar was discovered to be cracked at the dam last week. Garbage is seen that had been left in the water at the end of the dock. (Associated Press)

FISHING -- It isn't a hot spot for fishing this time of year, but if you're thinking of launching a boat in the Columbia River's reservoir behind Wanapum Dam, think again.

The 20-foot drawdown resulting from precautions after a crack was found in the dam have left boat ramps far from the water, as you'll see in the photos with this story from the Yakima Herald.
