White Willie,
I'm thinking about going down this Friday. Where would you put-in and what area would you fish? How are you fishing it? Any advice would be appreciated. If you want e-mail me. Thanks.

Ya Mike, me and the rest of Ifish [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] , if any of you get a chance to fish with Mike, jump on it as he knows the upper bay well. launch at memaloose and go from there. As I
stated in an earlier post, be Observant as in watch the guide boats who are hammering them. Spinners...about 12" dropper, 1 1/2
oz to 2 oz. Shallow in spots so be carefull.
We picked up fish in 3' of water. Mike, I can't say thanks enough for the great time(s)
I had while fishing from your beautiful boat.

I have been on vacation for three weeks and fished tillamook river and out into the bay. fished a couple of days with neutron and pursuit did very well over three weeks. One of the guides has over 80 fish for just over 22 days the majority are chinook. There is no one fishing there except on weekends. I fished almost every day in this area also met some other Ifish members streamside, big stew,marty peterson,the fish are there do not just stay in one place go out in the bay keep your hooks sharp and some times those stumps you think you have hook into can swim [private joke] get out there the fish are there you just have to look for them. Neutron are you going this weekend? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
