Seadog, another good bet is the Hoh above Hwy.101, lots of access and some great drifts, as for your sealion problem, a couple of things I've learned as a guide in Alaska is if you see them before they get the fish either yard them right into the boat with a net ready to scoop or another idea which may not work as well here with our barbless hook law but has worked there is to free spool your reel with a little thumb pressure to keep from backlashing, the idea is to let the fish swim on his own where he can potentially escape the sealion, I know this goes against everything were taught about keeping pressure on a fish but this may be the only chance you have of getting the fish, where as if that fish is fighting you and has a sealion on his tail all you'll get is a head and a sealion feeding show. I've had clients in Ak. do this a number of times and I get about 40-50% of them although we do have the advantage of barbed hooks, good fishing
