I don't think that would be a lot of fun if you want to know where to fish for them buy a fishNmap for FG most sports stores have them.
If you want to learn how to jig for them .
go to this Salt Lake International Sportsmen’s Expohttps://www.sportsexpos.com/attend/saltl...0/#showTop
The manual downriggers aren't that difficult once you get the motion down, and there are a lot of other places I need to spend $1,000 other than on downriggers. I like the clutch system on the Scotty's and in just a few motions with pole in one hand and the other on the clutch, I can get the rig down just where I want it to be. Also, the way I have them set up it takes about 5 seconds to remove and store them so they aren't stolen or in the way. No need for wires to unplug and store, no extra battery, no motors to wear out, etc..
I do have the fishnmap for the Gorge. I just need to learn technique, rigs, gear, etc..
I have been to the Sportsman's Expo many times over the years. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much learning there. The crowds are too big for someone to spend much time giving free advice. Everyone at the booths paid a hefty price to sell their products / services and they aren't selling much if they are shooting the breeze. Many of them, understandably, need to spend time seeing as many people as possible and pushing their wares.
This is the reason I posted here. There are a lot of people with experience here that are quite helpful, and they can post any help at their leisure.
