Fall nooks dont head up the willamette and into the clack. So no go there. You can still get an occassinal good looking fish in the upper stretches, seen they are still doing pretty well for summer steel but for salmon i wouldn't waste my time. Those fish are all dark and not worth the time, and that fishing isn't much of a challenge. I would just leave the fish be up there, when you pull them up on the bank half their skin falls off. Its up to you.
