DT, being it was my first year down there last year, my first trip I did nothing but trolling, landing an 18lb Native Springer (released), with cut plug hearing. Before I left I boated from the Kalama to the Cowlitz to scout. If you do not have the anchor system take GB's recomendation and tie up to a piling. Not really much secrets to fishing down there. When tied / anchored, use k-14's or k-15's Kwik fish. If youre running a prop watch the shorlines, it shallows quick. And yes look out for dead heads (logs).

Good luck
