If you can get away on short notice, it might be worth your while to try the Kalama now. Fished both Saturday and Sunday and both days were very, very good. 3 fish on Saturday, 5 fish on Sunday. All natives, all bright. The largest was about 12-15 pounds.

I fished the deadline stretch up in the canyon and from the red barn down around the bend. On Sunday, at the deadline, just after sun-up was able to stand in one spot and catch 3. This was fishing into the tail-out from the rapids in mid-stream.

I used sandshrimp under a float, except for one fish on a spoon in the flats down from the deadline.

I can't imagine the river being in much better shape or the fishing being much better, up and down the river. It is prime and seems to be happening right now. Good Luck!!
