Wondering what the Copalis River has to offer in the way of Salmon/Steelhead? I'm looking to relocate towards the coast and this area seems to have some promise, at least as far as property is concerned. I spent mid August to early October in Klamath, Ca and caught Half-Pounders in spurts. Lots of fun for sure but to live there not so sure. Brookings and Gold Beach are at the top of the list so far, Brookings to live and Gold Beach for fishing. Checked out the Grants Pass area too, not bad. I caught 0 fish in Oregon but not knowing the area I'm not overly surprised.

Back to the point, the Copalis River area? Good fishing or not? I've already been told about the clamming and surf perch. Need some info on steelhead, good or not so good? A salmon or two for smoking is always nice but I refuse to "Line" them. Might throw a spoon or spinner but no fancy snagging! Any info on this area would be greatly appreciated.
