I have never fished this area before. Huard some good reports on trask and Wilson rivers. I am going to head that way November 17th and stay for a week and see what i can do. I have a sled and have fished for salmon for years. Was wondering if anyone could suggest a good place to stay with kitchen. If its worth trolling the bay or stick to the rivers. Thank you,
You can still get a bright Chinook since these rivers have fresh fish coming in all through the Fall.
I've seen bright Chinook come out of the Wilson in December.
True, there will be dark ones aplenty that came in earlier.
Lodging and restaurants are two of Tillamook's not-so-strong points.
IMO, Mar Clair is a dump and the Shiloh is expensive and marginal.
Stayed in the little town to the south, Netarts, at The Terrimore and it was older but not bad.
Boat parking was a little tricky but I managed.
If I was going for a week I would look into a "vacation rental" rather than a motel.
Coming home to a "home" would be a good thing.
