RB,
There are some excellent rivers in the states, but right now I'd say Oregon has more with healthy wild fish runs than Washington. Oregon also has a stronger wild fish conservation attitude in the regs. rolleyes

My friend and I are averaging 4 or 5 hookups each per day on the coastal rivers right now....all natives so far. We hooked 16 tuesday, which is the best we've ever done. I think the Oregon coastal rivers are having the best wild steelhead run I've seen since I started steelhead fishing 7 years ago. laugh
