Suggestions/Partner(s) invited for April trip North
I've been happily "stuck" steelheading in CA/Southern Oregon for years, and haven't minded a bit... until this year. Man, what happend?. I hooked some real toads out of the American just couple years back and we all know about the Trinity numbers last year. The SF Eel was very kind to me as well. But this year, urg! Clear is okay, but low AND clear is not my style. I haven't the motivation to even go. Same old, same old.
Out of frustration, I'm planning a trip in mid-late April to fish a few new rivers for me, perhaps the area of the Trask/Wilson/Nestucca/Nehalem West of Portland (are they open to fishing in April?) or the Skagit/Sauk.
Water condition and fish density of the fishery will ultimately dictate the venue and I'l be fishing 4-5 days, but I'm making plans now.
If you're thinking of planning a similar trip and would like partner up, or will be there and wouldn't mind fishing toghether for a little bit and/or share a stream-side beer, send me a pm. Fishing with new faces is half (okay, perhaps only 1/4th) the fun!
If you can't go but have some helpful info or insight to share, feel free to offer it here.

fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
