Well put buddy I love fishing water with only a native run kinda cool to five a clipper the wood shampoo outthe first step to catch a 20+ lber is to stop fishing hatchery runs.. and target natives in rivers with no clippers in them, most people don't see the purpose in fishing where there are no fish they can keep... and that is why most people will never catch a fish that size.. they are out there-
you head down to the Nehalem, not the nf.. the mainstem nehalem anywhere below the salmonberry and roll/swing spoons or get a boat and pull plugs, and then if that does'nt work... try the chicken-i was kinda hopin somebody would say something like use bigger baits for bigger fish maybe some tech advice like put up the bobber rod and plunk with half a chicken and 15/O owner with two pink anchor bouys for beads what a dreamer i am thanks for the comments you guys all make some good points
