With the rain we got last night and more coming tonight no one will be fishing any where on the coast this weekend!
Oh, yeah, is it cool to mention the guide's name?
all of the coast?
catarafts/rafts/pontoons don't anchor well in current.
Not the greatest craft for backtrolling, either. But if one is clever enough, they'll figure it out.
I would say that if the Wilson is about 7.5 on the gauge, the Kilchis MIGHT be at the premium level and color.Hi all,
I have a rare weekday off this Friday, and I've been eyeing an exploratory Kilchis float in my pontoon. I was thinking about floating from the County park to the takeout near 101. I've never floated it before but have heard that around 6 ft on the Wilson gauge is a reasonable flow. A few days ago the forecast looked like it would be in good shape, but since then we got a bit more rain than anticipated and it now looks like it will be closer to 7ft than 6 on Friday. Is this too high to float? Too high to fish? I'll probably go out and explore anyway since I have the day off, but would love any insight on the float.
My toon is 10 feet and I've rowed some intermediate water like Whitehorse on the Deschutes. I understand this float is quite a bit more mellow than that.
Thanks for any input!

Bob,s Shuttles...Trask,Wilson,and Kilchis rivers...Rob or Loran 503-801-1366. ........Tony p.s. stop by the Tillamook Meat Market FYI of the area.....Thanks, guys. I'll probably give it a shot. Might be more of a float than a fish, but I'll learn something for next time.
Any shuttle recommendations?

It's a guesstimate to be sure, but when the Kilchis is right, the Wilson is usually too high.
The window is often only one day.
Make some calls and see if you can get eyes on it before you go.
Good luck.
