Boggan's Oasis restaurant has re-opened our doors for the 2021 season! Currently, we are open Friday-Saturday-Sunday from 11am-4pm, and will be expanding our days and hours as business conditions allow. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are currently open for take-out orders only, but you may come in and order from the counter, and use the restrooms. For the safety of our owners, employees and customers, face coverings and social distancing are required inside the restaurant. We are also open seven days a week for cabin rentals, RV parking and river shuttles. Just call 509-256-3372 for reservations and we will do our best to serve you. Let us know when you are arriving and if you desire take-out meals and/or shuttles.
There have been good reports of steelhead being caught. The river has been dropping steadily for a few days, and is currently running at 1770 c.f.s. Water clarity has been improving, and is currently around 2-3 feet, which is plenty for winter fishing. Fishermen are focusing on the usual winter spots from Boggan's Oasis up to Cottonwood Creek. Regulations in effect allow for retaining up to two hatchery steelhead, barbless hooks and bait is allowed. Un-clipped native steelhead must be released. Now is a good time to consider a float from Cougar Creek boat launch down to the highway bridge at Boggan's Oasis. The river is ice-free, and most of the lower-elevation snow has melted, so we are expecting good fishing conditions for the foreseeable future. Highway road conditions, up in Anatone and on the Rattlesnake (WA) and Buford (OR) Grades are good as well.
The safety and good health of our employees and customers will be our utmost priority. We will practice safe distancing, wash our hands and sanitize doorknobs, tables, bathrooms and counters on a frequent basis. So if you have been quarantined in your home for too long, feel the need to get to the great outdoors, or take a scenic drive down the Rattlesnake Grade, we hope that you will feel comfortable coming for a visit.
