It's a little early still down here. The Gray's Harbor and Willapa systems have been on lock down.
The ruts have been a bit early this year, maybe the winter runs will follow as well.

I would think that when the Nooch opens it should be good for fishing?????? I would expect an aluminum hatch when it opens.............. :yike::chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

WDFW has driven the North Sound steelheader into extinction.......No steelhead fishing unless you want to hit Gissberg ponds.
No chit. And with local coho closed, we have no river fishing fall, winter, and spring. They try to spin it like a good thing that steelhead smolts were planted in the lakes, but it's a crock. They even planted them in the crappiest lakes around. It's mostly lakes that are road side ditches.
Oh, and they tried to make it sound like planting the Sky was a big bonus. Planting just one river in the entire area is not a solution!

Anyone ever float a pontoon from the dam down? Wouldn't think a drift boat would be to smart up there.
There is a canyon, that bad things can happen in. Kayaks go thru. My bud floated it in a Aire Puma mini raft and bad things happened.
We floated above 7400 a few miles. Have to drag your craft pretty far. And cant fish from a boat up there. Took out at 7400.

I also am worried about the disaster White Bridge down is going to be. Without the 7400 down float, theres going to be way to many people packed into to little river.Luckily we have a friend with land, gravel bar and a ramp that we can lunch from that a little less than 1/2 way through the 7400-White Bridge float. There is one other private ramp a mile or so up river and I think that guy charges a select few to use his ramp. Somebody with land and a good spot could make some serious $$ with launching and shuttle fees!!

Was always a little envious of you guys putting in there.

I'm sure there are a few people up there that will realize that soon enough and open up an avenue. I can think of a couple locations fairly high in that float that could be great launches.

I have a 14' jet boat that goes just about anywhere :chuckle:
You may make it up, but you'll never make it down, especially if the suns shining! You let me know when you're going to head up there, I'll make sure I'm there to gather whatever comes floating down river.

just love to get a rise out of the drift boat only people, especially the ones from seattle :IBCOOL:

After the storms the other day, the road down the Hoh River washed out. Oil City Rd, don't know when it will be repaired.
Interesting. Must have been a little water coming down. :chuckle:

Last weekend it was a little chilly, but very worth it when I hit for a double before noon.
