Rainier / Longview Area

Uncle Bob · 08-21-2001, 07:13 AM

I'm looking for a River Report for the Rainier/Longview area of the Columbia.
Don't really want to make the drive until it starts getting REEL HOT.
I know it's almost time. Last year during the first week of archery season was Awesome.

Thanks for your help, UB

Try fishing in the fish ladder there UB. 1500 fish a day you should limit easy. he he he. Have'nt heard any reports. I can tell you that Saturday as I crossed the bridge to Astoria that there were very few boats anchored in your favorite spot.

Fishing at the Megler bridge in Astoria is hot so I would assume that in about a week that the fish will start really showing.

You know that I would like to fire up the BBQ with some braughts and rolls.

Can't wait for our favorite spot on our favorite stream.

I was told by a friend that his friend (one of these stories) that yesterday they got 4 nooks at rainer and saw many others landed. It might be time to try.?
