Assuming we don't have unusually bad weather Jeff, both those are seeming "can't miss" flotilla places. Even the doughballs have a chance at winning a flotilla at both places - tons of feeding saltwater salmon! And lots of good accomodations, great scenery, and picnic party places at both areas. For peak fishing they would have to be fairly close together? Maybe Bouy 10 on Aug. 17th or 24th (Saturdays)? Maybe Sekiu on Sept. 7th or 14th (also Saturdays)? Get more feedback on the dates.

I also think it's about time you Washington people make a worthwhile drive - to a trophy fishery many of you come to anyway - Tillamook Fall Kings! Mid-October has these big hog chinooks in all places: saltwater at the jetty, up thru Tillamook Bay, and up the lower ends of the rivers (Trask and Wilson best). Excellent range of affordable places to stay, and to picnic party also. Maybe the Tillamook area ifish people could put that one together? Jennie and Bill, Captain J, Marie and Dennis of Tillamook Bait Co., and several of the local ifish guides and sponsors. You Wassies that know how to fish Willapa Bay will do fine. But even better if you bribe tips out of me.
