I was steelhead fishing, but it is an extremely good section for salmon too, kloochy creek bridge is also a pretty darn good bet and about 2o minutes from downtown seaside, you also are 35-40 minutes to n. fork Nehalem and not too far from the Kilchis and Miami... you made a fine decison on a location for a vacation home. I drift the necanicum often.... mabe I,ll p.m you next time I go, but im a during the week guy, the N. fork and the necanicum get pretty crowded on any given weekend. If you start getting punked out there you need to establish a hammer as apposed to a nail stance..quickly, or they will have your number for good.
