I used to fish it alot with much the same results as you.Last time i tried to hike up from the mouth I ran nto new no trespassing signs.The upper river[watershed]would be a dream come true but alas..

They are also currently traping al the summer chumms out of it and helping them along.

Ever fish the dewwatto or tahuya?Rendlands creek is a little jewel for native cuttys.They are not real big but some of the beaver ponds on that creek have some biguns .They just redid all the roads and culverts on that system which I am hoping will help the cuttys move around a little.
