Hoodsport can be a darn good place, but I just heard that Minter Creek was opened for Chums this fall, and might be a place to try. There's a small estuary stretch below the hatchery thats open, but man there are a lot of fish there. While visisting that hatchery, I've seen the place completely full of chums, just writhing with them. I think the paper said that 18,000 were returning this year. The creek is right by Purdy, and would probably be well worth a shot, if you were in the mood for more solitude (at least not until the word gets out).
