If you were going to fish for salmon in Oregon around mid May, what rivers might have spring chinook in them? I'm hoping to get a long weekend in up there next month, but I don't know Oregon at all. Is there good fishing closer to Portland or would it be better to fly into Eugene and go from there? Also, can you swing flies for them? I'd like to fish with my spey rod, but have a single hander if nymphing techniques work better.

thanks a lot for any info and advice!

Cheers,
mike
