Try fishing along the bank. Find a rocky bank with a steep falloff.
They travel along the bottom and if your in a deep spot your gonna be
SOL.
IF it's early or late or cloudy I have caught them near the bank. I
think there all over the bottom it's just that you can get a fly to
them near the bank. Did you try the Lewis river?

No, I've never fished the Lewis. I didn't want to do battle with the crazy
boaters in the Willamette, so I headed to wider spaces on the Columbia.
Besides, I don't have a Washington license yet.

I really think the shallower water in the Multnomah Channel near Coon Island
would suit a sinktip.
