My dad used to run the mail up on the sleds from Gold Beach back before they had ANY dams on that river. I guess it used to be an awesome river. He said there would always be a fishable run of fish in the river at any time of the year. Its not that way anymore. I guess the summer run of steelhead (half-pounders, I think they were called) was alot of fun to catch on the fly. Its good to see that they are trying to make some changes for the better finally.
