We don't catch a lot of walleye on the Snake River, but we often catch some of the biggest fish of the year during the fall at this Club Fish Day. Texas Rapids is a Core of Engineers boat launch with a large parking lot. There is ample room to stay overnight and it is free. The lot is mainly level for your rig and sports a large grassy area for tent camping. The only amenities are toilets and garbage collection. The launch features a long dock where you can tie up to overnight , if desired, with no fee.
