Title: Shelton area salmon....Working in the area for a week
Post by: Mr T on August 11, 2013, 11:15:05 AM: Have to spend the next week in the Shelton area working, and I am not familiar with this area at all for salmon fishing. I will not have a boat with. Any input on where to go toss a line for fresh or salt water would be much appreciated.

But you still need to walk the river with a pole in your hand. It is nuts like Nubs said. You have to experience it.

Hoodsport was good for pinks a couple weeks ago, I've been out of the loop so not sure if it has petered off yet.
