The fishin' is often done when the tide is out and the retched mud at the mouth is ripe. Flat out, it stinks at the mouth. When the river drops, the mud gets exposed, and it's not like a clean flowing river, not the Hoh. But, close to home, there are a ton of catchable fish. And believe it or not, there are some nice ones too. Eggs, and Vibraxes are your friends here. I totally like the Samish, "0r the ditch", execpt for the snaggers. Especially snager JOE. He knows who he is. The dude with the spey rod, bare 4/0 hook and split shot right above it. He's a friggin' rippn' jerk, but the fishing can be excellent. Bottom line, no pulp mill near there, just kingers in a weird corn field setting with a stinky mud mouth.
