Sounds like the concrete bridge right in King Hill. That is the ramp for jetboats and its a wild ride to the Bliss Dam. Did the road climb the hill to the south and come out at exit 125 (Paradise)? The mouth of Clover Creek is another 2 (?) miles east (upstream), there is a small railroad tresell and the smallmouth hang around. The creek is general season, but the river is year round. I have caught 7 ft sturgeon in the back swirl there more than once. The whole river to CJ is full of largemouth, but you gotta work for them. Ron is correct about the catfish, they hang out below the Loveridge bridge, but you need a boat. There were folks fishing for catifish at the boat ramp on the Snake near Crane Falls Lake last weekend. With this low water and warm temps, the bass should be pretty frisky at the Bliss Dam. The locals plant their potatoes at Easter and then go bass fishing at Tuana Glutch. PM when your gonna be in the area.
