So, I have a family window that will allow me 4 days to fish starting this Saturday. Timing might be perfect. Or, I might be a little early. But, I gotta window and I am going through it! My hope is that some of our coastal rivers will be in prime shape come the weekend. Really want to fish The Eel but I doubt the main stem of the Eel river will be fishable at all. But, hopefully, the S. Fork should be good by Monday. As far as the weekend goes, I am kind of thinking about going big and maybe heading all the way up to the Smith. I know it is a tough river to figure out, but you have to start sometime. Where does a two-handed swinger start off on the Smith? Is it walk and wade friendly or, bring the drift-boat? Shuttle services up there? Any other suggestions were you in my shoes? Anyone else have plans on being up that way?
