The picture of my boat was taken on the Winchester Waste Waterway in Grant County. The route runoff irrigation from the Columbia Basin Project takes back to the River. Mr. Roosevelt's little project in Eastern Washington had a side benefit of establishing a waterfowl flyway where only a trickle had existed prior to the 1930s. We had some fabulous hunting there in the 1960s and 70s, but clean farming practices have reduced the Pheasant populations to a small fraction of what they were 30 to 45 years ago.
