Tidewater and the first riffle of fresh water start in cloverdale, you can fish right in the town of cloverdale! If i was you i would focus on fishing the mouth of three rivers, or jacksons drift, first left after the 101 bridge follow that to the pay box on the fence, dont be cheap put money in it! If that doesn't pan out, fish upriver at farmers crick! I wouldnt waste my time fishing tidewater .
