x2 I know guys that don't like to eat salmon/steelhead after they travel through all the willamette nastyness to my neck of the woods but i eat em.
if its cooked right it shoudnt matter! i had some sturgeon a couple of months ago an it was great! when we get a lot of rain is when they"ll release the poop the water is high an moving quick! every major city does it! my gramps works 4 the city of portland working on the sewers an working on that big pipe project! so instead of it getn dumped in2 the willy it goes in 2 the columbia! the salt water cleans it an if u think about that (where do the salmon come from,or go) the ocean!!!!!!
We just fished last week below Willamette falls and the lower river may be kind of dirty but those springers where some of the most tasty fish I have ever eaten!They are only in the Willamette for a day by the time you catch them down there so not much time for them to smell like brown trout. :lol: Like thuggin said the further up you go the cleaner it is.
