One Guided Trip Question
My Dad is coming out around June 12th for my graduation. If you had to take one guided trip that time of year what would it be, and who with. I was thinking big walleyes east of here or maybe a summer steelhead trip on one of the coastal or trib rivers. Help, I'll only graduate once, we want to hit whatever is hottest that time of year.

Re: One Guided Trip Question
Estuary sturgeon is one of the best trips in the state IMHO...

Re: One Guided Trip Question
Don't forget June Springers on the Nestucca, Trask or Wilson with Scott Amerman.

Re: One Guided Trip Question
I have to say Johnson cuz he's been a long time friend, but besides knowing the Clackamas river he catches 'em there too
Running the Clack is an experience all on it's own

Re: One Guided Trip Question
You have a varity of choices at that time of year, You have a world class sturgeon Fishery that is in the prime time for a big fish, 300 to 400 # average, in the Gorge, along with Summer Steelhead and Summer Chinook in the same area. That time of year can be really fun where ever you choose to go. A combo day of summer chinook and oversize sturgeon would be way up on the list for an out of towner to experience. Or like David said the Clack is in the prime time for Springers, and the Esturary is hot for keeper sturgeon. With all the difficult choices you have now ahead of you, no matter what you choose you are almost garanteed lots of action that time of year.
