My Father in law is coming to visit from Wyoming the last week of this month, the past couple years he's chartered a boat and taken myself and my brother in law fishing out of Depoe Bay, but this year he isn't able to take us out on the ocean. I'd like to take him Steelhead or Salmon fishing instead but I'm not sure where to go or what to use. I just started fishing the area and only for trout.
I'm in NE Portland and would like to stay somewhat close so we can fish after work, I'm thinking the Clackamas, Sandy or Mollala would be the best bets, or the Willamette but only as a last resort. My Father in Law is a big man, he has trouble getting around, so access to the river would be the most important, but we'd like to be able to catch some fish of course. What kind of setup should we use, spinners, baits, flies, what sizes and color, leader weight and length, etc.?
Unless someone has a boat to loan us, we'll be fishing from the bank.
Thanks in advance.
