The Klickitat River travels 96 miles -- one of the longest free-flowing rivers in the state of Washington. The spectacular geological formation of the "Narrows" supports one of the only two active Native American dip-net fisheries in the Columbia River Basin. Upstream, anglers drift the river in pursuit of elusive salmon and steelhead trout while marveling at the views of this wide gorge landscape.
