Do you guys fishing the Cathlamet area go to the Oregon side of the creek? I normally drop in at Willow Grove and head downstream and across, somewhere N. of the Wauna pulp mill. 18 inch dropper, K-14 w/ sardine wrap and smelly jelly. 10-18 ft deep.
All the "locals" tell me the Oregon side is the place to be for Springers. Just curious if that is the case farther west.
BTW, the river is full of seals, sea lions, and gulls apparently chasing dead drifting smelt upstream of Cathlamet. Been like that for weeks. Good to sea something moving in the river. I just hope the mammals go away before the Springers start to come in.
