Its tough to compare any river of now to the rivers of the 50's and 70's. There are fish to be had up and down the Oregon coast, go find one

Why go the Clack or Sandy from Eugene? Wouldn't the Siletz, Rogue, Umpqua, etc. be closer for you?
BTW, BigSteel...good point.

Fishing on the Alsea is slow!!!! Everyone from Eugene should head to the Siuslaw where fishing is hot.

Ha Ha haaaaa. Yeah, Fishing is hawt for hawgs on the 'slaw

If I'm not mistaken Jeanna, I think the Slaw is about as close as the Alsea. Maybe the Umpqua too. Plus, I'd bet that the fishing is far better on either of them.

yeah the slaw is way closer it's a 40 minute drive from my house. If you're into combat fishing a 2 mile stretch of river that sometimes has in excess of 30+ boats and a ton of bank anglers, that produces less than the alsea, go for it yo. I was making reference to the rogue and umpqua, both way further than the alsea, and the rogue is further than any of the portland rivers. Period. Just think it's hilarious that everyone thinks the alsea is crap. Wish more people thought that
