Hey @Matt B, not to hotspot, but surely some hallowed grounds over there, particularly during odd years 
. How far downstream did you paddle? Any signs of the recent oil spill? Apparently there was an uncontained oil spill not far from there after a tugboat spilled up to 150 gallons of hydraulic oil when a propeller shaft broke on Tuesday...

An uncontained tugboat oil spill fouled Seattle waterways
Photos show an oil sheen on the water off Harbor Island and the West Seattle Bridge.

Yeah I only had a couple hours and needed some water time and wanted to scope out the new-ish hand carry launch there. It works well. Barely any parking. I didn’t go downstream at all. The wind was blowing downstream so I went upstream as far as I felt, (about to the turning basin) and got blown black. Some decent osprey action.

That sure brings back memories. That same exact spot almost 40 years ago ('86?) I was wet wading in jeans in late March/early April while there was still some ice on the edges. WTH !?! I used a split shot on my floating fly line to chuck some sort of woolly bugger and caught my first Lahontan. Well, first one in the mouth after I foul hooked a few. I think I made it about 30 minutes until I was paralyzed by the deep freeze.
For a west-sider that lake was pretty phenomenal!
I took a photo for a guy who caught an 8 pounder that day or the next trip. One of the blonde fish.

Great story! I moved to Ephrata in '86, it didn't take me long to find my way to Lenore. Darc tells a story of fishing the lake early in the season, no waders so he "wore" a garbage bag on each leg - probably offered him a minute or two more than you.

That was right about the advent of neoprene, thankfully ! I used to live in a tall dorm in Cheney at the time and I was known to leave my room on the 10th floor and jump into the elevators with waders already on and fly rod in hand if I was to fish a local lake.
Those are comfortable to sleep in as well-as many here can attest to. RF parking lot was a favorite "gravel resort" in those days.
