I bet i have th ebiggest pea mouth chub ever caught in the shoug... I started fish the washougal when i was 6 years old (1982) it has gone from great fishing to crap. I started down at oak park bridge with the old guys and learned the river from there up. We used to raft from budha point down, then take out and raft from salmon falls down. Some great summer water up there. I don't fish it as much but my best friend lives on the river, near the greens. I can't stand all the pressure. I can fish other places with less people and better fishing.
