If you find the right fish, they are just as good as the ocean. Coho seem to stay silver the longest and are the best eating from rivers, so are the Upper River Bright Kings on the Columbia which stay silver for a long time. I caught a silver out of the Quilliute River that still had one sealice on it and herring in the stomach, that was a good fish.
