Through his years of experience, Jordan knows of several great fishing spots. One of them is out of Beacon Rock State Park in Washington State. From Seattle, the boat launch is before the State Park. You will need to turn south on Moorage Road. The launch is one mile past the Skamania General Store.

From Portland, the boat launch is just past Beacon Rock State Park. To get there from Portland, take I-84 east along the Columbia River on the way to Cascade Locks. Once you reach Cascade Locks, cross the Columbia River into Washington. The crossing is called the Bridge of the Gods toll bridge. Turn left onto Highway, and follow it west for seven miles until reaching the State Park.
