plumb2fish - Thanks for the response - I regret that I offended your sensibilities. I only have a short window to fish for Pacific NW Steelhead - 4 days a year. I wasted those 4 days last year fishing the typical "you should have been here yesterday" spots using the same techniques you highlighted. I will be out there this year fishing no matter what, but since I do not have the time or contacts to learn the streams by myslef, I was hoping for some local knowledge to at least get me pointed in the right direction. As far as your reference to $$, after my out of state $102 license fees, $100 oversized airline bag fees for rod case, another $200 on tackle, a $300 rental car, plus plus plus - can you really begrudge my offer to pay a little gas money to a local for his expertise on "Take an East Coast Smallmouth Fisherman Fishing - Day"? I'm not say'n.... I'm just say'n....

im not a guide but youre talking about my home town. I know this area very well and have access to private property on the east fork of the milliacoma were im able to slide my drift boat in and have drifted every river on the coos and coquille. I could get you a seat on a trip with me, no funds are needed because id be fishing whether you came along or not. However the only thing i ever gaurantee people is a nice boat ride, but we rarely come back empty handed.
Everyone thinks that my boat is painted like the Oregon ducks but it's actually a perch rapala
