Hey BigShark & posh II, thanks!
I need to get into some other rivers around here. I've hit the Nehalem and some of the other smaller rivers out to the west, but only the Clack to the east. I'm sticking with it though to hone my skills because it's the only river I've had any luck with for bigger fish.

As for fishing WA rivers...if an out of state fishing license is as expensive as it is in OR, I'll have to wait until I understand steelhead and salmon a little better before making the investment.
