Have you ever fished it before? I have read that it is pretty dirty and that the fishing really isn't too good until you get up pretty high on it and even then, the fish are few and far between. Is that true? I have never been there before. :think:

I used to fish it all of the time, as a wee one. Back then (35+ years ago), it was chock full of small cutties.

Yup, fished Marys River before. We had this conversation last year
Above Philomath and on up the Tumtum River is cutthroat territory (and the occasional squawfish). Many small hungry fish (2-4 strikes if you don't hook them), a few wary good fish (one strike and you're out!). Access points are few and there are some long slow sections that can be skipped. When the water warms, the fish will be where there is a cold water source, usually a spring or very deep water with current. Above Blodgett, Marys River passes through a sandstone layer that silts up the water, which is why you'd want to stick with the Tumtum River.

Living in Philomath back then, I fished it a great deal.troutdude said:
Water access was a problem, but if you could get some, there were cuts to be had.
